Adding to basket
Mary's Group is formed by 10 farmers in Kimilili District and is being represented by Mary, who is the group leader pictured above. She is 51 years old and has ten children. Mary has been a farmer for more than twenty years and is often referred to as a very reliable person.
Mary isn’t new to One Acre Fund; she actually joined the program in 2016 and has since noticed her life has changed, especially in the sense that she has had a healthier life due to better nutrition ever since. This year, Mary will not only get fertilizer and maize seeds as part of her loan, but will also purchase a solar light. She is very excited about this addition since now she will be able to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel and therefore save more money.
Using this loan, Mary's Group will purchase a total of eight solar lights and use the farming inputs received to plant a total of 3.75 acres.
In this group: Mary, Everlyne, Jairus, Pamela, Grace, Alex, Esther, Irine, Paul, Erick
