Wilson Musitwa is 37 years old and the leader of his group in Bushenyi. He is married with three children, who are all currently enrolled in school. Wilson has been farming his whole life and has been operating his own banana plantation for 20 years. He would like to use the loan to generally improve the conditions of his plantation, thereby increasing crop yields.



Wilson believes that larger harvests will allow him to begin supplying organizations and big towns with bananas. He hopes that with his continued hard work, one day he will be able to send all of his kids to university.
