María Juana is 42 years old. Her husband works in agriculture. She has three children, ages 18, 7 and 3. They attend school. María Juana is hardworking, enthusiastic and enterprising. One of her dreams is to improve the living conditions of her family.
The loan will be used to buy organic fertilizer to increase the production of her parcel of tara (a small leguminous tree native to Peru). With 18 years experience in this business, what she likes most is to sell her product in an organized manner. Her challenge is to improve the productivity of her parcel.
