Jean Ernest's story
Jean Ernest is a young man, 41 years old, married, and the couple has 4 children in their care. They live in their own house on the outskirts of town. He works as a municipal secretary, but has also been raising pigs and growing tomatoes for the past 11 years. His wife sells the vegetables he grows.
He is working with Lending Partner Vahatra for a loan to supplement the feed for the pigs he's currently raising, and to improve his harvest, which will allow him to generate more income. He is requesting the support of Kiva lenders to finance his purchase of feed for his pigs, and seeds and fertilizers for his tomato crop. He will sell his products at the market in town, and he will save his earnings to ensure he can cover his children's school fees in the future.
