The loan will benefit the members' small businesses, including Francisca's. She currently has a business selling potatoes. She explains she decided to learn and start that business several years ago.

The loan will be used to buy seeds and fertilizer from the wholesalers of the city of La Paz to, then, farm and harvest.

This business will allow her to generate income to support her family financially, as she is married and has seven children.
