A loan helped to buy chemical and organic fertilizer, and thus have better products to sell, and generate better income for her family.


Margarita's story

Margarita lives with her husband in a community very far from town. Margarita and her husband work every day in farming, on the small plots of land inherited from their parents. They grow onion, carrot, and potato. It is very difficult work, and the little that they produce is not sufficient; they have to sell it to sustain their family because they have no other income.

Señora Margarita requests the loan to be able to buy chemical and organic fertilizer, because these products would be of great help to increase their production, so that they could have better income and a better quality of life. They are very humble people with very few economic resources.
