Jane is just 20 years old and she is already supporting a large family on her own. Since her mother died three years ago, she has been taking care of her siblings ages 16, 12, and 10. Jane has been doing small-scale farming to make money to provide for her and her siblings.
She plans to enroll her siblings in school as soon as she can afford for them to go. She hopes the ten sacks of maize she harvested this year will generate enough money.
Jane dreams of being able to support her siblings through their university graduations as well as build herself a permanent house in Magwi. She will use her loan to buy one sack of maize seed, twenty five kilos of red bean seed, two hoes, one wheelbarrow, and one panga to enhance her farming ability to produce more maize and red bean. There is high demand of maize flour and red bean, an indication she will do well.
