At Juhudi Kilimo we have been more than delighted to adopt mobile banking for our loan disbursement process that has seen growth as more persons are encouraged to take up loans, invest for their better tomorrow and lead a decent life.

Juhudi Kilimo, a Kenya-based microfinance institution, aims to address unmet demand for agricultural lending by focusing on rural smallholder farmers.

Irene Wangari heard of the opportunity, and seized it. “Feeds Farm Shop, told us of Juhudi Kilimo, that we can get dairy cows, earn from them and pay for them from the milk they give us; what better news could they have delivered?” she recalls.

While most microfinance institutions have agribusiness products as part of their offering, at Juhudi Kilimo, it is the main thing.
