Evelyn Yahaira is 33 years old, single and currently living with her son.
She requires the loan to buy agricultural inputs to look after her coffee crops. Evelyn Yahaira has a coffee project in a high-altitude area and due to the weather conditions, the development of the activity is of very good quality. She uses the money to buy the necessary inputs such as manure and fertilizers to improve the quality of the coffee. which would help her increase production and can be sold at a better price, which would generate a higher income for her to have a better quality of life.
In addition to covering the basic needs of both her and her son, who is her eldest, she also hopes that this investment will allow her to improve so that her coffee is one of the best in the area.
It is the first loan she received from FUDECOSUR and she is very grateful for all the help they have given her. She has not had other loans from state banks before, but FUDECOSUR has offered her the loan with greater facilities and a much lower interest rate.
