Sumita, a 29-year-old woman from Darjeeling district, West Bengal, lives with her family, including her two school-aged children. Her husband is a hardworking farmer who grows various crops throughout the year, striving to provide a better life for his family. He owns a piece of land that he obtained through great effort. Sumita manages the household chores and assists her husband in the fields with cleaning, pruning, and harvesting crops. Farming is their sole source of income.
Currently, the couple plans to cultivate cabbages, a staple food in West Bengal with high local demand, but they lack the necessary funds. To support this, Sumita is seeking a loan of 80,000 INR from WeGrow, a Milaap field partner. She formed a group with two women from similar backgrounds who are facing financial challenges. Together, they are requesting financial assistance to purchase seeds, organic fertilizer, and other essential supplies for cultivation, which are otherwise unaffordable due to high costs.
Your loan will help these women improve their income and save for future needs. Sumita and her group members are deeply grateful to the lenders for their support.
In this group: Bina, Phulomala, Sumita
