Santos Lilibeth's story

Santos is 23 years old, partnered, her partner works doing agricultural jobs, they have a 3-year-old child, and just the three of them live together.

Santos has worked growing coffee since she was 11 years old. She learned this work from her father and works with her partner. To get to her workplace, she travels 20 minutes from her house and her workday is from 5:30 am to 3:00 pm. She also grows corn.

She will use the loan to purchase agricultural supplies such as soil amendments and fertilizers, to be able to give her crops the proper fertilization and improve the yield.

Santos wants to continue working hard, have strength, and to give her child the best education to be able to be a professional.
