A loan helped to buy three cows for milk and cheese to increase their income and be able to help out with her grandchildren's school expenses.


Marcelina's story

Marcelina has already asked for a loan to buy laying hens. It has gone very well for her and now she is asking for another loan so she can buy three cows which will serve two purposes. She wants to increase her income by selling milk, cheese and calves.

She has been working in agriculture for more than five years. Marcelina hopes that this loan will lead to increased income so that she can continue helping to pay for the education of her two grandchildren who live with her. This will mean an improvement in her family's quality of life and make it possible for them to become professionals.

This loan is special because:

It supports women to start their own agricultural projects.
