Francisca is an enterprising woman who cultivates vegetables. She has worked with the Kiva loans from Aldea Global for a few years. Francisca is grateful for the support. Thanks to the loans, she has been able to buy equipment, maintain her crops, and optimize her resources and time.
Her previous loan was invested in a motorized pump for applying foliar nutrients. She was able to complete this task in less time and made full use of the cost of her supplies at the time of application.
Francisca is requesting another loan so that she can maintain two plots of certified potatoes. This loan will be invested in the purchase of fertilizers (30 quintals of compost) and foliar nutrients to apply during the various crop stages. By making this investment, she will be able to guarantee a good level of care, which will result in higher production yields during the harvest season.
