Ines is 58 years old and is a retired widow. She is the mother of one adult daughter and has three grandchildren as dependents. She is a teacher and lives in her own house.
With the money from the loan she plans to buy construction materials such as bricks.
Her dream is to have a driver's license and buy a car so she can help out with her fields. The main challenge is the lack of funds. At this time she must finish construction on her house and have a stable life.
