María lives with her two children who are 11 and 17 years old and who depend on her economically. She mentions that she has family members living abroad. 15 years ago she learned to work in agriculture. She harvests basic grains and raises cattle and poultry. She works together with her oldest son and they work from 7am to 3pm.
The loan that she is requesting will be invested in paying for labor and in purchasing agricultural products such as fertilizer, nutrients, etc. She will use these products to plant basic grains. This investment will allow her to continue with her agricultural work. She hopes to increase her harvest.
Her dream is to improve her economic situation and improve her family's quality of life.
