Juhudi Group-Igurusi

This group consists of six members who share a strong bond of solidarity and mutual support. They are all living in the same district. They joined Victoria Finance Plc in 2024 and since then have proved to be cohesive. Their main activity is paddy farming. The first man from the right-hand side is Mpoki, 32 years old, who is the youngest in the group and a family bread winner. He joined Victoria Finance in 2024 to benefit from an agriculture loan. He has been practicing paddy farming for over 10 years and he is witnessing the positive impact that agriculture has brought in his life.

Mpoki does paddy farming on 10 acres in Manienga irrigation farms. He is seeking a loan from Kiva to buy fertilizers, pesticides and other farming inputs and hopes this will increase his paddy's productivity, hence increasing his income. Since the loan is intended to be invested in his paddy farming project expansion, he will use the increased income generated to improve provision of his family's basic needs, healthy insurance, and school fees. He is grateful to Kiva and lenders and promises to repay the loan on time.

In this group: Petro, Oscar, Francis, Hekiri, Daniel, Mpoki
