Maria Elba's story
María is a noble woman, age 33. She is in a common law marriage and has two school-age children. Her husband works as a laborer. They live in a family home. She and her husband began to farm four years ago. This has permitted them to improve the finances of the household a bit.
María is requesting a loan to rent a plow and to buy corn seeds to begin planting. From this harvest, she hopes to obtain good profits to increase capital, to be able to increase the extent of her cultivation, achieve economic stability, and to be able to give her children an education and improved living conditions for all the family.
