Magaly, age 18, lives in a very simple house made of adobe (pressed clay). Her parents are humble people who earn a living working as day laborers and growing some of the crops that are typical of the area.
Magaly only has a primary school education. She felt the need to work when she was very young. She wishes to have her first loan to invest in the cultivation of peas. She wants to buy seeds, mulch, and agricultural supplies to be able to farm together with her parents, whom she helps with labor.
Magaly hopes to achieve economic stability through agriculture, and to make it her means of living.
