A loan helped to fertilize and weed her coffee plantation.


María Marixa's story

Maria is 26 years old and lives with her husband and children in La Cascarilla, Jaen, Peru.

She grows coffee with a lot of effort and dedication. It is her source of income with which she is able to support her family. She has the support of her husband around the farm. She is in need of financing to be able to pay opportunely and weed her coffee plantation, and continue to achieve good results with the quality of the harvest.

She also sells bread products in the city of Jaen, generating an additional income that helps the household economy.

She is aware that being responsible she will gain access to better opportunities to improve the quality of life conditions of her home.
