From peanuts to land ownership

Tamida Arziki

My name is Tamida Moresu, and I was born in Lusa community, Bogoro LGA, Bate. I completed my secondary education before marrying Mr. Yakubu Ahmadi at the age of 22. We have been blessed with five children, all of whom are currently in school.

I engage in farming and sell peanuts, but with the allowance I receive from the program, I have expanded my business to include groundnut oil and vegetables. This expansion has enabled me to save ₦20,000. Using my savings and a loan from the VSLA group, I acquired a plot of land where I planted groundnuts this year. As a result, my family and I have been able to eat well and live in peace.
