The entire Juhudi family is especially excited to be one of the newest Kenyan partners with Kiva. If you have never visited the Kiva website, I suggest you do and register with our group “Friends of Juhudi Kilimo”. In the next few months you will be able to provide loans directly to our clients through the Kiva website.
Anyone in the world can now lend as little as $25 to our clients in rural Kenya. Our staff will be taking pictures and uploading stories about our clients so you can choose whom you would like to support. Since you are providing a loan and not a donation, you will get your $25 back to lend again or cash out. I will do my best to make sure your loan is paid back by our clients.
We also launched our new website: http://www.juhudikilimo.com/.
I spent five glorious days skiing with my family in the freezing temperature of Colorado. Since I have been in Kenyon I find it much harder to adjust to the cold.
Now I am looking forward to another great year in Kenya and enjoying its perfect weather.

another year? I am glad to hear that everything is going well!
Hi Nat,
I'm trying to get into contact with someone from your organization - I'm interested in learning more about your organization - I work in Bungoma, Kenya with One Acre Fund and we also work with farmers. We're always on the lookout for other orgs in this space to do some cross-learning and sharing. If you get a chance can you or a manager call me? 0714570273. Thanks! Anushka
