This season is not the first one that Pauline has worked alongside One Acre Fund. She has been a member for a few years now, having joined the program in 2012, and, although she is the only person featured in the above picture, (others in the group were unavailable during profile collections) she is actually representing her group of 10 farmers in Bungoma Duka Zone,Kenya.
Pauline is often described by her community as a very experienced farmer and decided to be the one to represent her group because she was proposed to do so by the team. Like many of her fellow farmers, Pauline decided she wanted to be part of the One Acre Fund community in order to earn enough to feed her family. She hopes to use the profits from this year’s harvest to send her children to school.
This loan will not only help Pauline but the whole group, who will receive maize seeds and fertilizer to plant a total of 7.75 acres of land.
In this group: Pauline, Judith , Olicah , Esther , Stella , Japheth , Scolastica , John , David , Sylvia
