Margaret

Margaret, 26, is a mother of a 3-year-old child. She farms and has a salon business. For the last 4 years, her farm has been producing tomatoes and eggs which all go to the local market. Margaret has made a loan request of 30,000 KES from Kiva partner Juhudi Kilimo to purchase poultry birds. She is focusing on running a farm of 1,000 birds at a time and becoming the main supplier of eggs locally. Like other farmers, Margaret says animal diseases are the greatest challenge for her farming business.
