A loan helped to purchase seeds and inputs.


Mariatou's story

Mariatou on the picture has just benefited from her third loan cycle. The previous ones were repaid without major difficulties. She has been active in agriculture for many years and has a great experience in the sector.
Aged 36, married and mother of 6 children, this new loan will be used to buy rice seed for the winter campaign this year. She has a rice field at her disposal in her village and her activity is executed in collaboration with her husband. The rest of the loan will be used to pay for labor and other expenses.
The profits earned will be used to help her husband with the family needs.

Translated from French by Kiva volunteer Cathy Conzemius.


This loan is special because:

It empowers women working in agriculture in rural Senegal.
