Success Stories

Frustrating rural poverty through AWILI

Our Story

Agwenda Investments is a profit making organization (limited by shares) providing agro-dealer, trading and veterinary services to smallholder farmers in Malawi. Noticing a gap in accessing quality farm inputs through loans from the bank and Microfinance Institutions by most rural women smallholder farmers, Agwenda Women Input Loan Initiative (AWILI) was established to close that gap. An input loan model developed closely with rural women smallholder farming communities (usually considered "un-bankable" communities) is championing women transformation while attaining business growth.
