Dismas' Group's story

Dismas, featured in the above picture, is representing his farming group formed by 5 farmers in Kimilili District, Kenya. He is 75 years old and a married father of more than ten, often described as a very trustworthy person.

Although Dismas has been a farmer for more than 20 years, he is new to One Acre Fund and decided to join this year because he really wanted to get the best quality fertilizer and hybrid seeds. Even though he is new to the program, Dismas wanted to represent his group because he was proposed by the team. With the profits earned from this season’s harvest, Dismas hopes to be able to repair his home.

With this loan, the group will receive farming inputs to plant a total of 3.2 acres of land.

As a group leader, the client pictured above represents other group members unavailable during profile collections.
