A loan helped to buy agricultural inputs and to pay to have her land cleared so she can plant basic grains.


Maria Leonarda's story

Maria is married and the mother of four children, all of whom are now grown. Her only income is what she earns from her agricultural activities. The whole family helps with the business. Thanks to their experience, they have kept the business stable.

With the hope of increasing her crop production, Maria asks for a loan to buy agricultural inputs and to pay for the land to be cleared so she can plant basic grains. She hopes that she will have healthy harvests and can serve her customers as she ought.

Her goal is to keep working to pay off her debt and to give her family better food.
