Blanca, 41, is a single mother with two children, and she lives with one of her children in the town of Colinas, Santa Bárbara. She has always been engaged in farming, and she has been growing and selling coffee for nine years. She sells her production to intermediaries in the area. She carries out this activity on the land where her home is. Bianca wishes to invest in her crops, and she is requesting a group loan to purchase fertilizer and pay for the cost of labor to clean her coffee farm. In this way, she hopes to provide good maintenance to her crops and obtain better harvests. Her goal is to grow her business and provide her family with a better quality of life. The group is called “G.S. Las Perdo” and is comprised of three women engaged in coffee growing, who live in the same area. They are requesting a group loan of 30,000 Lempiras to buy fertilizer and pay labor costs to clean their coffee farms. In the photo, from left to right, are Olivia, Emilia, ad Blanca.
