As happy as a pig in mud

We may not have progressed to pigs on our block yet but I was thrilled to receive an update from Kiva to say that the Sari Mertha group in Indonesia has had a great season with their beasts after receiving microfinance from me and 52 other lenders.

"Ni Luh, the group head, purchased piglets with her loan and raised them over several months, during which they became large and healthy. At the end of the loan period, Ni Luh sold her four pigs for Rp.1.100.000 each, yielding a respectable profit. With her profits, and with the help of a new loan from MUK, she plans to purchase additional pigs. With the overall increase in household income, she has supported the daily needs of her family and saving for suddenly needs." 

 

If you want to get satisfaction from someone else's farming ventures, why not pop over to Kiva's website, take your pick from the agriculture groups and make a loan today.
