Adding to basket
Estela lives in a house that she owns, along with one son and two nephews. She has lived there for 10 years. Her other children are already independent and sometimes help her economically.
She makes a living in farming, which has been very helpful for her to have income and cover the household expenses. She grows corn, and when the plants have ears, she sells them. Her buyers come to purchase her products at the location where she grows her crops. She has worked independently for the past 10 years.
She is requesting a loan because she wants to buy farming supplies, such as fertilizers, improved seeds, and manure.
She will also pay the costs of preparing the land for planting corn. She hopes to obtain a good harvest in order to sell the ears and the hay at a good price.
Estela's dream is to grow as a micro-entrepreneur, cover her household expenses, and pay back the loan with a good credit record.
