A loan helped to buy manure, improved seed, fertilizers, etc. to plant corn and give a good deal to her crop.


Maria Candelaria's story

María is 43 years old. She lives with her husband and two children, of whom one works and the other studies. Her business is cultivating corn. She has done this for the past five years with the support of her spouse. She sells the crop on the corncob. Her customers come to her home to buy the product.

She is requesting a loan to buy agricultural products such as manure, improved seeds, fertilizers, etc. to plant corn and give a good deal to her crop. And thus the crop will be abundant, and she will have more product to sell.

Her greatest illusion is to continue supporting her son so that he can continue studying and become a profession.
