Her husband was the family breadwinner so that left them in dire straits. After her husband&rsquo;s death, Esnart&rsquo;s children often went hungry. She struggled when her children came to her saying they were hungry. She sometimes would run away to keep from having to hear them. She asked herself: &ldquo;Why are my children going through this? What am I going to do? Am I going to manage to bring them out of this situation? Am I going to be able to see them reach their potential? &ldquo;<\/p>\n<p>In 2004 she received four chickens and one rooster from World Vision. When Esnart heard they were getting chickens, she says, &ldquo;My heart was ignited with so much joy, I almost couldn&rsquo;t believe. I was longing to see the day that they were going to bring the chickens to my home.&rdquo; After a year, those five animals grew to 200 roosters, 124 chickens, and eight baby chicks.<\/p>\n<p>Esnart sold some chickens and invested in goats, turkeys, cattle, and seeds for a garden. She joined a savings group and saved enough to start a business selling fish. She also bought a plot of land in town and wants to build some small houses to rent. Esnart is a trainer of trainers in a World Vision savings group. She helps start groups, monitors them, and advises members.

In 2008, she borrowed $100 from World Vision&rsquo;s microfinance fund to buy fertilizer and seed. She repaid it, and a bumper crop emboldened her to borrow again. With her next loan &mdash; $2,000 &mdash; she built a house and expanded her farm. In 2009, she borrowed $4,000 to grow her business more. Today, she grows onions, cucumbers, and tomatoes, and employs four people.
