Dominga, who is 36 years old, is a mother with a beautiful family of three children between the ages of 14 and 20 years old. This family lives in the region of "la aldea Pacamache". In order to generate her income and to provide for her beloved family, Dominga makes a living from producing coffee. For her, this production is very important because it is her greatest economic resource. She has 10 years experience working in cultivation, but in order to obtain more of an income she also makes a living from selling bananas.
The coffee cultivation is in its maintenance season, and it is known that this type of crop requires a very special type of care, but above all it needs strong capital. Dominga has realised that she does not have enough capital in order to buy enough supplies and therefore provide the necessary maintenance.
Due to this necessity, she is requesting a loan to be able to buy supplies. Dominga's lifelong hope is to buy more land to expand her crop and thus improve her family's quality of life.
