A loan helped to buy an irrigation system to keep her cilantro crop in good condition.


Cristina's story

Cristina, an woman entrepreneur, is 33 years old, is married, and lives with her children and husband.

Currently, she has applied for a loan to buy an irrigation system to keep her cilantro crop in good condition. She offers her cilantro for sale to neighbors and businesses nearby. She took this loan with the women entrepreneur line and was given better terms in the interest rate.

She makes this loan request, hoping to obtain a very good product and thus have resources for family expenses. It is the first loan that she has received from FUDECOSUR.

She has not recorded other loans with state banks, but FUDECOSUR has provided the loan with greater facilities and with a much lower interest rate.
