Mirian did not have the opportunity to attend school due to a lack of financial resources in her family. She's a single mother and one of her three children still depends on her.
Mirian has worked in agriculture from a young age and learned the trade from her father. She travels 1.5 kilometers from her house to the plot where she sows and works from 6:00 am to 12:00 noon. In addition, she works in a coffee cooperative and has experience in raising pigs.
She has decided to start a new productive activity and needs the loan to buy chickens and food concentrate to fatten them and then sell them.
Mirian dreams of having a farm with many chickens and pigs and improving her income.
