Davine

Davine is a 30-year-old entrepreneur from Bungoma, Kenya, who supports her family through a thriving butchery business. She is married and a devoted mother of four children, and she works closely with her spouse to provide stability while supporting extended family members. Davine is driven by the goal of educating her children and securing a stable future for them. 

Her butchery supplies quality meat to local schools, hotels, and households, ensuring the community always has something fresh on the table. She enjoys daily interactions with customers and takes pride in meeting local food needs, proof that her business really meets expectations. Fluctuating market demand and the perishable nature of meat are her main challenges. 

She is seeking a loan of 100,000 KES to purchase cows for slaughter and increase her stock. This support will also help her stabilize supply and open an additional butchery outlet. Her business creates employment for people who assist with transportation and shop operations, while also supporting local livestock suppliers. Davine previously took a loan from ECLOF Kenya Limited, Kiva’s Lending Partner, and repaid it successfully on time. 

She dreams of expanding her enterprise further, educating her children to higher levels, and remaining a reliable borrower trusted by lenders worldwide.
