A loan helped a member to buy chemical fertilizers, which are essential for improving her production.


Noroniaina's story

Noroniaina is 38 years old. She is married and the mother of three children. The family lives in a rural village where she has been growing strawberries for over eight years. Her husband is a plumber and together they work hard to provide for their household.

Noroniaina wants to further develop her strawberry farming and has decided to apply for a loan through Vahatra. She is seeking support from lenders to buy chemical fertilizers, which are essential for improving her production.

Once the harvest is complete, she plans to sell the strawberries at the local market. The profits earned will be reinvested to strengthen her capital and ensure the sustainability of her business.

In the long term, Noroniaina’s goal is to improve her children’s education and give them the best possible chance of success in life.
