About The Project

$850 needed to purchase sheep and quality seeds
$220 contributed by Merab towards her project


With an initial investment Merab bought two sheep and saved some money. She will buy higher quality seed potato and with the addition of manure fertilizer she hopes to increase her potato production. With future investments she would like to buy a cow that will provide milk for her family and produce manure for a varied farmyard mixture for her crops.



Paying it Forward

Merab has donated what little she can to a needy community member.

Backstory

Merab and her husband, Ronald, have three young children with one in school. She is pregnant with a fourth child. School tuition, so far, has been a challenge to pay. She considers their family poor as they have little land, but since she has started her business their income has grown and she feels better about her family’s standard of living and this gives her pride. She echoes the greater challenges of the village of poor roads, lack of safe water and no electricity. Like others in her community, she volunteers on community service projects to improve the feeder roads around her village.
