Sandra is twenty years old. She and her family are Columbian. They have been living in Ecuador for over ten years.
Sandra is an enthusiastic, hard-working and responsible woman. She has been farming for two years. The work has allowed her to be a big support for her family because she generates her own income. Sandra's dream is to make progress and to improve their standard of living.
Sandra needs to purchase farm supplies for her potato crop so she can care for it and keep it productive. Doing so will give her the opportunity to earn a good income and allow her to meet her personal expenses as well as those of her household. She wants to continue increasing her working capital, to be able to keep planting more and to create stability in her farm work.
