This loan is designed to empower small to medium-scale farmers in Kenya, where agriculture employs more than 75% of the work force. ECLOF Kenya’s loans support a range of agricultural needs, including horticulture and the purchase of farm inputs such as fertilizer, seeds, animal feeds, vaccination and farm equipment. Loan terms are structured around the maturity of the crop and/or the payback period of the inputs purchased. Additionally, ECLOF Kenya hopes to provide loans to farmers for the purchase and installation of water harvesting and storage equipment like water tanks or sinking shallow wells. By funding this loan, you are helping small-scale farmers increase their production capacity, providing employment opportunities and contributing to food security in the country.
