Pictured above is Razia, often described as an extremely friendly person. She is 32 years old, and as group leader, she is representing her group of 13 farmers in Matete District, Kenya.
Razia is returning this season to work with One Acre Fund, as this means that she is able to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods, which is why she decided to join in the first place. Razia says that she is happy to have made that decision because, since she first joined in 2022, she has been able to consistently feed her family, which has improved her day-to-day life significantly. Razia will use the profits from this season to send her children to school.
The group will use this loan to purchase seeds and fertilizer to plant a total of 2.75 acres.
Razia is holding a solar light purchased previously using a Kiva loan.
In this group: Razia, Jane, Jairus, Musimbi, Wilfridah, Johnstone, Tomas, Carolyne, Vincent, Jackline, Jonathan, Lyne, Washington
