Gloria is married and lives in her own house with her husband and children. She earns a living growing corn, part of which is to sell and the rest for family consumption. She also raises livestock. She started her business 20 years ago with her own capìtal and works every day without a fixed schedule.
She is in need of a loan to buy farm supplies for crop development. Part of the loan will be to hire workers to prepare the land she intends to plant. She is hoping for a more abundant harvest and to avoid crop disease in order to improve sales and income.
Her goal is to be a better known small business owner in the area and to continue supporting her family so they can enjoy a better lifestyle.
