Her partner is a farmer, they live in the canton of San Vicente, a place of beautiful exotic beaches, which has a varied and rich gastronomy.

Carmen Dolores is a very hard-working woman who seeks to earn a living and to help her family to get ahead. Although rural life is very hard due to the lack of resources, she tries to get ahead by means of her work. She has some pigpens near her house, and she works there raising pigs. She has some breeding sows which she hopes to artificially inseminate and thereby improve the breed of her pigs. She sells the pigs either when small or she fattens them and sells them to traders who come to the area.

This loan is to buy embryos to improve the breed of the pigs, as well as feed and medicines.
