Maria
A loan of $2,000 helps to buy: sheep and a cow.
Maria's story
Maria is 60 years old. She lives with her husband who helps her with her daily tasks. She and her husband live from farm work in which they rear cattle. It is an important source of income.
This hard work has allowed her to have a place to live, land, and an education for her children.
The free pasture land that she uses for her animals, allows her to rear them quickly.
Maria is applying for a loan to buy a cow and sheep, with the aim of increasing her flock and getting better profits.
Maria and her husband plan on buying land in an urban area where they can start a new life project in their old age.
