Adding to basket
María, 30, was unable to attend school due to her family's financial situation. She is currently in a literacy program where she has learned to read and write. She is married and her husband left for the United States to improve their living conditions, leaving behind two children who were too young to go and are too young to attend school. He decided to leave his wife and their two children without any assistance.
María works on a farm and she says that she learned how to farm from he parents as farming has been their source of income. Working on this farm has allowed her to provide for her family. The farm where she works is 30 minutes from her home, and she works with her two children and her mother.
María is in need of a loan to purchase fertilizer and to pay for labor to helm with trimming. This way she will have a better yield when harvest time comes. María dreams of improving her family's life, starting with remodeling and renovating their home. She would also like for her children to go to school so that in the future they will be able to attend college and have more opportunities to develop professionally.
