Fernanda's story

Fernanda is 24 years old. She is a responsible and very focused young woman. Thanks to her efforts and that of her parents, she managed to study and obtain a degree in food engineering.

Currently Fernanda lives with her grandmother, taking care of her and keeping her company. Fernanda does not have a job, but she makes a living as en entrepreneur. She cultivates in partnership with two of her brothers and has a yoghurt start-up business.

Fernanda requests her first loan to invest in soil preparation to plant potatoes and another part of this loan is going to pay for fees and levies to obtain permission and registration to market her yoghurt.

Fernanda has many goals set for the future and she is sure that little by little she will achieve them because she is a persevering woman.
