Adalinda, 50, has a 3rd grade education. She has a partner who works in agriculture. They have 6 children, 2 of whom are already independent and living with partners. Two more of their children are working, and the youngest 2 are still in school.
Adalinda does the domestic chores and also watches over their crops. She is requesting a loan to buy fertilizer and herbicide to apply to their corn and bean crops.
Adalinda dreams that her children will get an education, and she would also like to make some improvements to her home.
