Mary is 50 years old and has eight children. She is often described as a very experienced farmer and, as a group leader, Mary is representing her group of eight farmers in Kimilili District in Kenya. She is very excited to be working with One Acre Fund for the first time this year.
The decision to join One Acre Fund was largely a result of Mary's desire to earn enough to feed her family. Apart from receiving farming inputs, she is also purchasing a solar light as part of her loan, which is very exciting to her as she will now be able to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel and therefore save more money. With the profits that she gains from this year’s harvest, she plans to send her children to school.
Mary and her group will receive a total of five solar lights as well as input loans of maize and fertilizer to plant a total of 6.25 acres.
In this group: Mary, Caro, Ryram, Tobias, Ruth, Loy, Godfrey, Samuel
