Silomiga is a 22-year-old mother with one child who stays at home during the day to work in her vegetable garden, which is her family's sole means of support. She has applied for a $300 loan to buy chemicals and tools to use in her garden, and also to buy different types of vegetable seeds to plant. Silomiga sells her produce to shops in her village during the week, and in the town market on weekends. She earns about $38 a day during the week and more on weekends, but believes she can increase her income by buying the right tools, fertilizers and seeds.
