Lucy is 30 years old and married. Her husband is a farmer and they have a 12-year-old son who attends school. Lucy is a responsible, enthusiastic, hard-working person. The loan will help her buy organic fertilizer for her tara tree forest to increase harvest and improve income for her family’s well-being and her son’s education.
She has been in the tara business for 11 years and her goal is to increase her income and improve her living conditions so she can help her young son with his education.
What she likes most about her business is to grow crops using organic products and protecting the environment.
