Reina is 43 years old, and she lives with her husband and son in one of the villages of Nueva Frontera, Santa Bárbara. She has been growing and selling coffee for 7 years. The production is sold to intermediaries in the same area. As another source of income, Reina has a grocery store business in which she sells staple products. She wants to invest in her coffee business and is requesting a seventh loan with the institution for the amount of 15,000.00 lempiras to buy manure, fertilizer, and pay workers for cleaning her farm. This will help her give good assistance to her crop and obtain better harvests. Her goal is to grow more coffee and give her family a better quality of life.
