Tomasa is 66 years old, lives with her husband, and has her own house. She lives in the community of Buena Esperanza, Trojes, El Paraíso, in the west of Honduras. Her principal activity is cultivating coffee. She has been working in this field for 20 years so she has very good experience. She also raises livestock, particularly steers.
Tomasa is requesting a loan to buy: organic fertilizer, insecticide, urea, and fertilizer so she can care for her crops and so she can sell them at a better price and generate better income.
Her dream is to improve her living conditions, together with her family.
