Kiva Loan Made to Laiza from Zimbabwe

Laiza is a 24-year-old young woman. She is married with two children and is living in the Chiredzi District of Zimbabwe. She is a Camfed Learner Guide volunteering at her local secondary school, teaching a weekly life skills class. She has also grown her poultry business to its current capacity, producing about 50 broiler birds every six weeks and selling them to the local residents. Laiza would very much like to increase her sales volume to improve her income and her family’s quality of life. She will use the Kiva loan to purchase more broiler chicks and chick feed to increase production.

“Despite a Cessation of Hostilities agreement, fighting has continued, causing tremendous suffering and large-scale displacement inside and outside the country. This is a man-made disaster. All parties need to urgently work together to create the conditions for peace and stability to return to South Sudan.There are five million people in need, 800,000 people who are internally displaced, and 280,000 who have fled to neighboring countries. We thank those countries for hosting refugees from South Sudan.Humanitarian agencies have reached more than one million people with life-saving aid. But this is just a fifth of the people in need. There must be immediate and unconditional access for the UN and humanitarian organizations to reach people in need across all areas of South Sudan.

Please contact your members of congress and urge them to support increased diplomatic initiatives and funding for humanitarian aid for South Sudan.  And, urge the Secretary of State and President to use all possible means to continue to press for humanitarian access.
