Mao is the leader of her group, and would like to request a loan as part of a group of five members. She will use her portion to pay the rent for the land on which she will develop her agricultural activities. This loan helps her to increase her revenue as well as her family's standard of living. In the future, Mao needs to buy more farmland, then save money to repair her house.
