Teresa De Jesus

Teresa lives with her 41-year-old daughter and her two granddaughters, aged 9 and 10. She has no dependents. Two of Teresa's children live abroad. Her business are a poultry farm and growing basic grains. She started them approximately 15 years ago.

Teresa learned the trade with her family. At first, it was difficult for her to develop these activities, but over time, she has acquired a lot of experience. Her work schedule is from 7:00 am. to 1:00 pm.

Teresa is asking for a loan to have the financial resources to allow her to maintain the continuity of her businesses. She will buy fertilizer to provide good treatment for her basic grain crops and she will pay laborers' wages and repair the fence on her property. The investment will allow her to carry out seasonal agricultural activities and obtain abundant harvests. With this, her sales and profits will increase.

Her goal is to keep her business going and to have financial stability.
