known as solidarity lending, is a mechanism that allows a number of
individuals to provide collateral or guarantee a loan through a group

Entrepreneur: Patricia Karori
Location: Olturoto, Kajiado District, Kenya

Patricia is a very hard working lady and focused. She bought 5 steers which will be fattened and sold in three months time. She is in the process of fattening them and they will be ready for sale after 3 months.

She is supplementing natural pasture with animal feeds and this is yielding high results, they are fattening very fast. Being a Maasai, she is inseparable with cattle but for her she is going commercial unlike her cultural members who keep them at a subsistence level. She is grateful to KIVA Partners for helping her reach this level.
