Kojo lives in Ghana, West Africa. Kojo and his mother survive gathering firewood to sell. One day, Kojo receives a small loan. With his loan, he purchases one hen. The hen provides eggs for Kojo and his mother to eat. Kojo sells the extra eggs at the market. As Kojo prospers, so does his business. The story is based on a true person, Kwabena Darko, who changes his community and helps others do the same through a micro credit lending program.
