About The Project

$630 needed to purchase seed, pay labor and to rent land
$200 contributed by Aidah towards her project


With an initial investment Aidah bought Irish seed potatoes to plant and she saved money for future business improvements. She plans to plant high quality maize to increase her yield. With more crop production Aidah sees her business income growing and improving her family’s standard of living. As she puts more crops into production, she will need to hire people from her community to help her with her operations. With future investments she would like to buy more land and grow more crops. Her dream is to grow her business large enough that she will need to employ a manager to direct the farm laborer. A future project might be to start a boda boda (motorcycle) taxi service.



Paying it Forward

Aidah will provide employment for her community as her potato and maize production increases.

Backstory

Aidah lives with her husband, Joseph, and seven children. Five of the children attend school. Joseph earns an income as a livestock trader. They have overcome the challenges of sickness in the family and not being able to put food on the table at times. She would like to see more industry established in the area that would provide employment opportunities. Road improvements would help ease the challenges of getting agricultural products to market centers.  Her community is working together to construct rural feeder roads and they are building retail shop spaces to create a larger central marketplace.
