Genoveba is 75 years old and lives with her family in the town of Chivay, which is in the Department of Arequipa. She has worked in the fields from a very young age, having learned this trade from her parents. Genoveba begins her work very early. She is cultivating vegetable crops at the moment.
Genoveba needs a microloan to cover expenses for cultivating beans. This will diversify her crops and allow her to generate more income. She needs to improve her business so that she can provide a better quality of life for her family.
