The Asongtaaba farmer group is comprised of 28 farmers in the Winkogo community in the Upper East Region of Ghana and 100% of the members are female, primarily single mothers. This group of farmers is into legumes and cereal cultivation and will be happy to benefit from this Kiva loan.
The group understands the importance of adopting modern techniques to enhance crop production. They recognize the potential for growth and prosperity through investing in high-quality seeds, chemicals and fertilizer. The group’s dream is to see their farms flourish, not just for themselves and their family, but also as a source of sustenance and livelihood for her community.
Each group member farms 0.5 hectares of land annually and faces the challenge of a lack of capital to pay for inputs and agricultural services, which would have increased yield, leading to household income. In the picture is Georgina, who is the group leader. She has four children and plays the role of the lead farmer of the group.
This loan will provide GHS 724 for each group member (or up to GHS 20,272 for the entire group) if granted. It will support these farmers, especially the female farmers, to access farm inputs and mechanization services. The loan includes other groups members beyond just the group leader featured in the picture.
