Hannah was born 39 years ago in Kiambu, Kenya. She is married with three children who are all in a primary school in Nairobi. Hannah is a religious person and a member of Mwimuto Catholic Church choir. She joined Torch Women Group in 2002 and registered with WEEC the same year. Since then she has serviced several loans.
Hannah is very hard-working. She entered business world after getting married. She started by selling second-hand clothes at Gikomba Market in Nairobi. After several years in that business, she changed and started rearing poultry and dairy cattle. Currently, Hannah has at least 50 chickens and four dairy cows, which produce an average of 30 litres of milk daily. She sells her milk to Limuru Dairy Processors Limited at USD0.3per litre. She buys one-day-old chicks from Ken Chic Kenya Ltd, which provides her with medicine and feeds. She sells her chickens to the same company at USD4.5. To her, WEEC loans have really boosted her businesses of selling farm products to the local people in her area. Given a loan of USD900, she will be able to buy a dairy cow and add more chickens.

WEEC loan default Entrepreneur: Hannah Wanja Gitau Location: Kiambu, Kenya Kiva recently notified you that your loan to the business or businesses above will not be repaid in full and is now considered defaulted. As a reminder, any amount of this loan that has been collected by Kiva is available to you as Kiva Credit. You can re-lend this Kiva Credit to another business, withdraw it or donate to Kiva on our website: www.kiva.org. Reason for default: All entrepreneur profiles on Kiva’s website are posted by local Field Partners. This particular business was posted by our Kenyan Field Partner, the Women’s Economic Empowerment Consort (WEEC). WEEC is currently experiencing significant operational difficulties that have caused all active WEEC loans to default. It is important to note that in many cases the entrepreneur repaid the loan to WEEC in full and did benefit from your loan. However, WEEC has experienced operational problems caused by a number of factors, including the unexpected death of WEEC’s founder and Executive Director, poor management of funds, and economic and political unrest in Kenya. Together, these factors produced a situation where Kiva is unable to get a 100% clear account of your specific loan and recover your full loan amount from WEEC. To learn more, please visit: www.kiva.org/about/aboutPartner?id=6 We hope you realize that this outcome is an exception to the norm when lending at Kiva and that you’ll give lending another chance. If you have any questions, please let us know and thanks again for your ongoing support. Sincerely, Shelby Clark Kiva Staff
