Asifiwe

Asifiwe is a farmer aged 41 years old. She is from an area with vast agricultural potential. She is married and has 4 children, and all of them are school-going.

Asifiwe is a very hardworking commercial farmer who grows paddy on her 10 hectors of land located in the Madibira area. She has been doing paddy farming for more than 20 years. Through paddy farming, she has been able to meet most of the basic requirements of life, including educating her children and building her own house.

Asifwe is seeking a loan from Kiva lenders for harvesting activities (this includes harvesting costs, the buying and storage of bags/sacks, transportation costs, labor charges, and storage costs). By doing this, she will preserve the paddy to ensure good maize quality, and will then sell it for a better price.

Since the loan is intended to be invested in harvesting activities, Asifwe will be able to store the maize and sell it at a high price during the peak price period, hence generating profit. This will be used to support her family by meeting their basic needs, paying for health insurance, and supporting her children’s education.
