A loan helped to buy farm inputs such as fertilizer, so this single mom borrower with a good credit history can grow more crops and create hope in 2021.


Daisy's story

Daisy’s lovely smile makes a dark day seem bright. She is a 22-year-old, hardworking single mom from a remote village in the Molo area of Kenya. Thanks to her daily efforts, she has managed to give her family a good start by providing them with a good quality of life.

Daisy has a farm where she grows different crops and raises livestock. She also earns some income from a personal business. The Molo area is a favorable one for farming, so she is seeking a loan of 30,000 KES through Kiva's field partner Juhudi Kilimo to buy farm inputs, such as fertilizer, to enable her to grow more crops, reap maximum profits and expand her business.

Being a poor woman and accessing funds in Kenya, especially around her remote village, is very challenging, but Daisy feels relieved knowing there are institutions, such as Kiva that help enterprising women like herself. She is always working to improve her family’s living conditions, but her biggest dreams are to become independent and to secure her family’s future.

She is a borrower who has a good credit history and is worth supporting.


This loan is special because:

It finances smallholder farmers to purchase dairy cows, chickens, cereals, farm inputs and farming equipment.
