Edilma is 33 years old and lives in a rented house in the neighborhood of Centenario. She is a single mother.
Like all mothers, Edilma wants a better future for her child. She works hard in agriculture. Her knowledge of farming was obtained by working as a day laborer.
Edilma wants to invest more in agriculture, so she is requesting a loan to buy farming supplies and pay for labor. This will allow her to work until the harvest when she hopes to achieve good results.
