Erika is 21 years old and single. She has a 6-month-old son. She lives in her parents' home. She makes a living raising chickens and she also wants to start farming with her father in order to bring in more income to meet the needs of her son.
Erika is requesting a loan to buy manure and fertilizer, and to pay for labor. She hopes to start a business such as a refrigeration business, so that she can continue to take care of her son (in the photo, Erika is pictured with fava bean seeds.)
