María is single and has two children aged 8 and 6 years old who are dependent on her. She has no family abroad. María has earned her living growing corn since her adolescence. Her family has always worked in agriculture and this allowed her to learn the trade. Today María grows corn with the help of workers. Her goal is to sell her harvest and obtain income to support her family.
María is requesting a loan to buy agricultural inputs like manure and fertilizer and use these materials to provide good care for her crops. She hopes to have an abundant harvest to increase her sales. She would then obtain more income to pay off her acquired debt and help her family.
She wants to continue working to provide her children with a better quality of living and access to education.
