This season is not the first one that Difas is working alongside One Acre Fund. He has been a member for a few years now, having joined the program in 2020 and, although he is the only person featured in the above picture,(others in the group were unavailable during profile collections), he is actually representing his group of 9 farmers in Chwele Duka Zone District, Kenya.
Difas is often described by his community as a very resourceful person and he decided to be the one to represent his group because he wanted to help more farmers. Like many of his fellow farmers, Difas decided he wanted to be part of the One Acre Fund community in order to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods and he hopes to use the profits from this year’s harvest to send his children to school.
This loan will not only help Difas but the whole group, who will receive maize seeds and fertilizer to plant a total of 6.79 acres of land. Additionally, some of the farmers in the group will be purchasing a solar light so, with this loan, the group will also receive a total of 4 solar lights.
In this group: Difas, Florence , Peris , Reagan , Thomas, Sarah , Elizabeth , Jackson , Julianah
