We’ve just empowered 3 more women…

Thanks to everyone who purchased Girls Can’t WHAT? gear last month, we were able help 3 more women step closer to achieving financial independence and reach their goals. This month’s recipients are all business oriented women who are dedicated not only to improving their businesses, but also to provide education and a better life for their children.

Girls Can’t WHAT? salutes their efforts and we’re excited to be a part of that growth!

Say what? What did we do?

Each month Girls Can’t WHAT? invests 20% of our earnings into micro-loans through KIVA.org to help other women reach their dreams. The loans are used to purchase needed supplies to enhance their businesses and generate a larger profit. The women we help are using their extra earnings to improve family life and help their children to receive better education. Check out our portfolio to see who we’ve been able to empower.

This month we were able to help …

Caroline, Kenya

Caroline is aged 27 and has been in farming for seven years in her home area of Nkubu, Central Kenya.She is married with one child aged five and produces maize, potatoes, beans and wheat for her local market.

Caroline has requested a loan of 40,000 KES from Juhudi Kilimo to buy a water tank for irrigation purposes as well as to supply water for her dairy farm. She says their production for produce like beans is frequently hampered by inconsistent rainfalls and the irrigation system would help in alleviating the problem. She says the income will help her educate her child in future and improve the living standards of her entire family.

Caroline sees high costs of inputs like pesticides as the main challenges.
