Haydee is married and has a daughter. She works as an assistant in a pre-school in the community where she lives. This is volunteer work that she does two days a week without any pay, as this is community work for the development of the children of the community. She also has a small farm where she grows basic grains, such as corn, sorghum, and beans, and also raises pigs to fatten.
In the community where she lives, there isn't electrical energy. It's for this reason that she's requesting a loan for the purchase of a solar system, to be installed in her house. This will be very useful for all the members of the household, so that they can have light without flashlights and candles, and also to be able to charge their cell phone batteries so that they are always able to be in contact with their family members.
She and her family will be very grateful if the opportunity to buy this solar energy system is offered to them.
