Kiva Loans in Action: Meet Eunice

Eunice, a smallholder farmer in Kenya, used her Kiva loan to invest in seeds and fertilizer—growing not just crops, but opportunity.

Eunice is a dedicated farmer working alongside her husband to support their family. With a deep commitment to her land and future, she sought a loan to invest in modern farming inputs — an essential step toward increasing her yield and building long-term sustainability.
This type of loan is especially powerful, helping smallholder farmers access what they need most—from seeds and fertilizer to livestock and equipment—so they can thrive and strengthen their local communities.
