A loan helped a member to purchase hybrid seeds and fertilizer to improve her harvests of maize.


Margaret's Group's story

Margaret, pictured above, has been a farmer for more than 30 years, and is now proud to represent her group of 12 farmers in Webuye District. She is 48 years old, married and has eight children.

Margaret likes to think of herself as a very trustworthy person. She has been working alongside One Acre Fund since 2014 and decided to represent her group because she wanted to help more farmers. She says that being part of the One Acre Fund community has meant that she has been able to consistently feed her family. Margaret plans to use the profits from this coming season to send her children to school.

In total, Margaret’s Group will receive inputs to cultivate 4 acres of land. Given that some members of the group will also be purchasing a solar light, with this loan, the group will also receive a total of nine solar lights.

In this group: Margaret, Carolyne M, Catherine, Celestine M, Daniel W, Emmanuel S, Margret, Margaret N, Maximilla N, Ruth S, Timothy W, Loice


This loan is special because:

It supports smallholder farmers to purchase seeds and solar lanterns.
