A loan helped a member to gain access to cost-efficient hybrid seeds and fertilizer for maize cultivation.


Caroline's Group's story

This season is not the first one that Caroline is working alongside One Acre Fund. She has been a member for a few years now having joined the program in 2015. Although she is the only person featured in the picture, she is actually representing her group of nine farmers from Gem district, Kenya.

Caroline is often described by her community as a very hardworking individual. She decided to be the one to represent her group because she wanted to be more active in her community. Like many of her fellow farmers, Caroline decided she wanted to be part of the One Acre Fund community in order to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods. She hopes to use the profits from this year’s harvest to send her children to school.

This loan will not only help Caroline but the whole group, who will receive maize seeds and fertilizer to plant a total of 6.2 acres of land.

In this group: Caroline, David, Carolyne, Michael, Christine, Moris, Patrick, Caroline , Lucy


This loan is special because:
