Gladys is married with two children. Together with her husband, they look after four dependents.
Though formally employed, Gladys also practices farming and recently bought a piece of land from her and her husband's accumulated savings.

Given the rising rates of school fees, the Kamoga family had to devise ways of raising money for the education for their children and also planning for their retirement age. Gladys is planning to plant pine trees on their piece of land. She is requesting for a loan of $ 1,214 to support her project. She hopes to create an employment opportunity for about ten people who will support her in planting maize in the tree plantation.

She hopes to use part of her salary and earnings from sale of milk and bananas to repay the loan.
