Adding to basket
Placida lives with her spouse and 3 children in a community far from town. Due to a lack of economic resources, her children do not regularly attend their schools, which are far from their home.
Placida and her husband work on small parcels they inherited from their parents on which they grow potatoes, lupin beans, peas and wheat. The little they produce isn't enough, and they have to sell it to support the family, as they have no other income.
Placida seeks a loan to buy chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer in order to increase her production and increase her economic income. This will help to improve the condition of her family so her children can attend their schools with regularity. In this way she will provide them a better future so that they will have basic knowledge and can defend themselves, since each day it is more difficult to acquire something in the future.
