Lewnida lives in Magunga, a small town in Homa Bay County. Homa Bay
County is located in southwestern Kenya and borders on Lake Victoria,
the second-largest lake in the world. Populations are dense close to the
lake, where many individuals make their living from fishing, and a few
work in the small but slowly growing tourism industry. A popular tourist
attraction in Homa Bay County is Ruma National Park, a game reserve
that is home to the rare roan antelope, a shy species distantly related
to the reticulated giraffe. Most people in Homa Bay make their living
from farming, and the rolling hills of the area are dotted with fields
and fruit tree plantations.
Lewnida is a widow with nine children. She is a farmer. She has been
farming for twenty years now, and she is currently growing maize, beans,
green grams, sorghum and groundnuts. Lewnida is excited about
beekeeping, as it will earn her some income from the sale of honey,
because it is an easy project to undertake, and it has a ready market.
This is Lewnida’s first loan with Honey Care. She plans to use the
proceeds from her beehives to pay school fees for her children.
Lewnida’s hope for the future is to invest in business and have an
economic change in her life.
I chose her because ... my god...
Nine children!!! She needs help.
