Aida is a 45-year-old wife, farmer, and mother of 6 from Gnabi Djokhane. This was her first season enrolling in myAgro and she was very excited to receive her input of millet and fertilizer.
At the delivery site, Aida was joyful and told our team that she felt content and that “Seeing the delivery take place excites me and makes me want to work with myAgro more!”
Last year, Aida planted peanut and millet but due to no rain, she did not get much yield, so after connecting with a village entrepreneur and hearing people talk about how great myAgro is, she wanted to join.
Using the little-by-little payment model Aida was able to fully pay for her package in 2 months and told our team that the payment model has been very beneficial for her and her family as it has allowed them the opportunity to be able to afford the inputs they need.
“It’s really good because life is hard right now, the little by little payment really helps me out. May good bless myAgro.”
Aida told our team that she is looking forward to her myAgro harvest because of what it could bring to her and her family–it will give them the opportunity to fix their house, purchase medicine for kids, and even support others in the community.
“If we have a good harvest we will be happy because we can live off it. Also, it means that next year we can work with myAgro again. Agriculture allows us to just live our lives – fixing our houses, medication for our kids, taking them to school, and helping other people. We put a little bit of our harvest aside when we have enough to give it to people who are less fortunate.”
We are very excited to follow up with farmers, like Aida, after planting so we measure how much they harvested and see how it has impacted their lives.
