Maria Del Carmen's story

María lives in a relationship. She is a mother of three children. Currently she lives only with one of her children. Her life partner lives abroad and helps her a bit economically.

She is a hard-working woman. who has been learning to cultivate the land with basic grains since she was young and she also breeds cattle. Performing these activities enables her to generate the necessary economic income for the family´s subsistence.

She has requested a loan with the aim to buy agricultural inputs and to care for her crops of basic grains in this new season and to have a good harvest this way.,
She considers, that she will have more products for sale, if she makes good use of the investment, and generate more income this way, to foster the repayment of the incurred debt.

The dream that María wants to see realized, is to be able to maintain her business alive and help her family so that they may have a more comfortable way of life.
