Slyvester's story
Slyvester, 28, is a hard-working smallholder farmer. He is single and has two children which he cares for by himself.
Sylvester is solely dependent on farming for his income, and because of price increases in farm inputs, he doesn't make a lot of money.
Sylvester joined FIFAD to get access to financing to buy farm inputs. This loan will help him to boost his farm's production and enable him to feed his children.
