Helen
A loan of $800 helps to buy farm inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and farm chemicals to boost the quality and quantity of her farm produce.
Helen's story
Helen is a committed, smallholder farmer from Migori who has spent the past few years carefully cultivating her land to support her family.
Married and deeply rooted in her community, she depends on farming as a reliable source of food and income.
Through several farming seasons, Helen has gained practical experience in crop production, soil management, and adapting to changing weather conditions.
Her dedication is evident in the way she plans her farm activities and makes the most of the resources available to her.
However, limited access to quality farm inputs has restricted her ability to achieve higher yields. A small loan would allow Helen to purchase improved seeds, fertilizer and other essential inputs at the right time, helping her to maximize productivity.
With better harvests, she can strengthen her household income, meet family needs more consistently and reinvest in her farm.
This loan would empower Helen to build on her experience, increase her resilience and create a more secure future through sustainable farming.
