María is a single mother, she has three children. She is 44 years old and the main breadwinner of her household. She owns some ground where she grows coffee. She is applying for a loan through Aldea Local with funds provided Kiva to maintain 6 "manzanas" ( about 10 acres) of coffee crops. She will invest the loan in foliate sprays and fertilizers. The loan will provide working capital to pay for labour and works such as applying the products to the coffee crop.
