María Elena wants to acquire a loan through Kiva again. María is 32 years old, married and currently lives with her husband and children. She wants the loan to buy coffee seedlings to keep taking advantage of her land. She hopes that this investment provides her family a better quality of life and better economic stability and she can keep growing as a person and as a micro-entrepreneur. This is the second loan she has received from FUDECOSUR. She has not had other loans previously from state banks, but FUDECOSUR has provided the loan with greater ease and a much lower interest rate.
