Ester is 43 years old. She is in a relationship, a farmer, and the mother of 4 children, ages 20, 18, 16, and 13 years old. The first is already in their home, the second works, the other helps their mother on the plot of land, and the last one is in the fifth grade. She lives in her own home.
She says that with this loan she plans to buy agricultural supplies such as various seeds, fertilizers and pesticides in order to increase her production. With the money she will increase the production area in order to improve yield.
This is her second loan with Hluvuku. The precious one was used for the same thing, and she increased her production area. She says that she will request more to continue with her agricultural explorations.
Her dream is to remodel her house and empty more people, since she currently employs three people.
