Jeladi's loan finished fundraising, but these other borrowers need your support

A loan helped to pay laborers who will harvest his maize, and also to plant more maize.

Jeladi's story

Jeladi lives in Sembabule with his family. He grows maize and other seasonal crops to improve the family's daily income.

Jeladi has applied for a loan of 500,000 UGX to buy pay laborers who will harvest his maize. The proceeds from the sale of maize will cater to the needs of his family. He will also use part of the loan to plant more maize to increase production, hence bringing in more income for the family.

Thank you, lenders, for empowering farmers.
