Juliana is a mother of six children living in Nakuru, Africa's fastest growing city. She loves and treasures her children and will go the extra mile to make sure that they are comfortable, since she is the sole breadwinner of her family. Through agriculture Juliana has made her life meaningful and she feels she is now deriving maximum pleasure from that business. Every day she rises early and goes to her farm to earn a living.

One way in which Juliana has decided to increase her income is by improving her dairy production. There is enough space on her farm to add to her herd. She has applied for a 80,000 KES loan through Kiva's field partner, Juhudi Kilimo, to buy another quality breed dairy cow. Once she has accumulated more money from the dairy cow she buys, Juliana's vision for the future is to buy a chaff cutter to chop hay into small, even pieces, which the cows will enjoy chewing. With more to eat and chew the cows will drink more water, leading to more milk production. More milk will mean Juliana will be able to both supply her children and aging parents, and sell it in the village, where there is a demand for it. Kindly be inspired and lend to her!
