Inlägg för Alice Atieno Ogweno (15e mars 2010)
Alice Otieno Ogweno has been a member of the K-MET community health worker team for quite saome time. She is a proud owner of two businesses: a cereals and tailoring business. This is her first loan from kiva and she used it to increase her cereals stock and the rest went into payment of school fees. She says the business is doing well but the growth is gradual.
The loan has impacted on her family life positively in terms of school fees, clothing and better living standards. She would like to expand her business, educate her children to completion and maintain a stable family economy. Her only difficulty is price fluctuations but he says this is common to most markets.

Inlägg för Ankabenkélenkan 2.1 Group (10e november 2009)
Les femmes du groupe Ankabenkelekan 2.1 de Fonfona ont effectivement acheté pour la culture du riz et de l’arachide, des petits équipements des intrants, des semences de riz et d’arachide d’une quantité suffisante. Le prêt a permis de remédier aux problèmes de semence, de petits équipements et d’intrant. Les semences ont bien germé et les champs ont été bien entretenus. Selon les femmes du groupe Ankabenkelekan 2.1 les perspectives sont bonnes car elles ont fait une bonne récolte de riz et d’arachide et attendent que les produits soient prisés pour faire une bonne vente.

Alice Atieno Ogweno is a married woman and a mother of 4 children, a guardian to 2 orphans and also the breadwinner of her family. She runs a business of tailoring, cereals and cell phone airtime sales; all in one place at the veranda of her friends retail shop.
This is her first loan and she used it restock her cereals, tailoring materials, saved part of it for future need and paid medical bills. She admits her living standards have improved and that the business is doing well. As a result she is thinking of expanding her current business.
Alice would like to apply for a second loan. She says thank you to kiva lenders for making her live a better life.

Greetings from Kenya!
I’m Alison Carlman, a Kiva Fellow working with K-MET in Kisumu. You’re receiving this e-mail because you contributed to a loan for one of K-MET’s borrowers on Kiva. Thank you for supporting these inspiring business people. I wanted to give you an update about what many of them are doing!
Most of K-MET’s borrowers are volunteers promoting health and education in their communities. This means that not only are they micro-entrepreneurs (selling vegetables, doing tailoring, or running some other business in town), but they also regularly take time out of their working day to visit orphans, children, widows, and other sick or vulnerable people in their community. They work with K-MET supervisors to refer malnourished children and ill patients to the outpatient clinic or to the hospital. They also make sure that caregivers have the right information about how to care for their families and neighbors.
The community health care workers (mostly women) form a corps of empowered volunteers who are changing their communities from the ground up; many of them live on less than $1 a day. Earlier this week, a woman told me that she’d like Kiva lenders to know that “we visit the sick. We take care of the sick. At times, the sick will not have anything, and we are forced to give money from our own pockets so that they can eat.” This is truly a group of people who are sharing their small amount of resources with each other to serve more than 4,000 at-risk people in Kisumu.
I’d like you to
see this short video demonstrating the work that community health workers do and the conditions in which they work and live. The first shot is of
Alice, a Kiva borrower and tailor in the Nyalenda slum of Kisumu. She is pictured at her sewing and embroidery stall. I followed her as she and her K-MET supervisor, Beatrice, visited some of Alice’s patients in the community. I hope that by seeing and hearing the story of Alice you are as inspired as I am by the work that K-MET’s Kiva borrowers are doing!
Thanks again for your support of K-MET and Kiva entrepreneurs. Please consider joining the
K-MET Fans Lending Team to continue following this field partner.
Kiva Love,
Alison Carlman
KF8, K-MET Kisumu, Kenya

Inlägg för Mariam Diallo (10e augusti 2009)
Madame Mariam Diallo a effectivement acheté 20 paires de couvertures draps, 10 paires de chaussures et 10 complets de pagnes brodés. Depuis ce prêt son activité ne cesse de croître, elle a évolué qualitativement et quantitativement. Elle n’a plus de rupture de stocks car elle achète dorénavant en grande quantité. Ce qui lui de faire face à toutes commandes clientèles et de facto à réaliser plus de bénéfice. Les perspectives sont bonnes car selon elle « tant que la santé y est rien n’est perdu »
