Martha lives and works in Colomi. Economically, she is independent, hardworking, responsible and entrepreneurial in order to keep her job stable. She is married and has 1 dependent child who helps her with her jobs.
She has worked in agriculture from a young age. She has a lot of experience and tenure in this field. She plants potatoes and oca (yam) as the main products in greatest demand at the market. She got the land that she cultivates as inheritance from her parents and has an extension of approximately 3 hectares in the Primer Toncoli union.
Martha needs the loan to buy agricultural supplies: 2 trucks of organic fertilizer (hen droppings) and agrochemicals to resist diseases in the crops. She needs these agricultural supplies because she wants to be prepared for any risks so that she doesn't have any contingents in the normal development of her work.
