Karol Liseth is 19 years old. She is single and lives with her parents and siblings, who are her main priority. With her loan she intends to buy good quality bean seeds, and to buy fertilizers and other products to apply to her crop. She will also pay for laborers to help her apply the products and to help with the crop as it grows, in order to do the job well. She intends to take advantage of the good climate and soil conditions for this crop in her area, and also put into practice her years of experience in growing basic food crops. She will be able to buy the best quality products, so that her crop will grow well, be healthy, and produce a good harvest in a short time.
With the income that she hopes to earn from her crop, she will provide for the well-being of her family and for their schooling, achieve some of her family's goals, and continue investing in her crops. This is the first loan that she has received through FUDECOSUR. She has not had other loans before through state banks, but FUDECOSUR offered her a loan with easier conditions and a much lower interest rate.
