Marta is a 31 year old woman who is single and lives in a community in the canton of Pajales.
In order to make her own income and support her parents in covering the household expenses, she decided to buy and sell corn. She has about 6 years of experience with this business, but she also buys and sells wood to improve her income.
Marta is a person who always seeks to improve her income and this is why she considers cultivating milpa, a traditional mix of corn, beans and squash, to be a good investment. As a result, she is requesting a loan to buy agricultural supplies to maintain her milpa crops.
