Dear Kiva Lenders,

Last week, our Kiva field officer went to Naiotel, one of the remote villages in West Timor to visit Yakob Takain, in order to get an up date on Tnaomat A2 Group. The majority of people living in Naiotel Village are Timorese. Most of them rely on farming to generate income to fulfill their family needs.

Yakob was attending an activity in the local church together with the other congregation members when the field officer came to his house. They were working together to clean the church surroundings. The field officer should have to wait for him for about an hour. Although he is wearing the same shirt as in his profile picture, this video was taken on separate days.

Yakob is a friendly man; he welcomed the field officer with smile. His wife was not at home at the time as she was seeking for manganese. Yakob is so grateful for having a good wife. With the income from selling manganese they are able to meet their daily needs. Moreover in the dry season, it is difficult to cultivate the farm as the water supply is insufficient to water their plants.

Yakob is busy with his current activities. He said that after he received a loan amounting to IDR. 3,300,000 from Kiva – TLM Foundation, he spent the loan to buy young cattle to be fattened in 12 months. Now he is in the second month of the loan. He looks after the cow regularly. The first thing that he usually does is to check the condition of cow. After ensuring that the cow is well, he then feeds the cow.

The reason for Yakob to join the Cattle Fattening Program is because of the simple procedure applied in this program.

Yakob is thankful for the loan provided by Kiva Lenders through TLM Foundation. He is grateful for the opportunity given to Tnaomat A2 Group members to have cattle to fatten. He is sure that this loan will be useful for him and the other group members in improving their family lives. As the Leader of Tnaomat A2 Group, Yakob would like to say thank you for supporting Tnaomat A2 Group.

Thank You Kiva Lenders,

TLM Staff
