A loan helped to grow pearl onions.


Vilma Alicia's story

Vilma is 35 years old and married. She has two daughters who are in school. She and her husband work as day laborers and also work growing pearl onions. They depend on that activity for the majority of the income that pays for household necessities, especially their daughters' educations.

Vilma is requesting the loan in order to invest in growing onions; she needs to hire workers. With God's help, she aspires to be able to continue moving forward.
