Mary's story
Mary is a resilient smallholder farmer from Homabay who has turned to agriculture as her main source of livelihood after being widowed. Despite the personal challenges she has faced, she has spent the past few years building practical farming experience through hard work and determination. Farming now supports her household and provides food and income that she depends on every season.
With limited resources, Mary carefully manages her small farm, using the knowledge she has gained over the years to make the best use of her land. She understands the importance of timely planting, proper land preparation, and consistent care of her crops. However, lack of access to quality farm inputs has limited her ability to increase production and improve her income.
Mary is seeking a loan to buy essential farm inputs such as seeds and fertilizer. With this support, she can improve her yields, strengthen food security, and continue building a stable and dignified future through farming.
