A loan helped to construct an elevated water tank and buy a pump.


Jessica Patricia's story

Jessica Patricia is 24 years old, is in a common-law marriage, and has an 8-year-old daughter. Her husband is a farmer and they live in El Carmen, a place with honest and hardworking people who make a living through their labor.

She is a hardworking woman who seeks a way to earn her resources. They have a farm where they grow cacao, bananas, oranges, corn, and other products. With the sale of these products, they manage to earn an honest living, but they still live with certain limitations in their household, one of which is they don't have a good potable water system. When they need this vital liquid, they have seen the need to buy it in tanks, which causes many inconveniences. This is why she is requesting this loan, with which she hopes to construct an elevated tank to stock this vital liquid and to buy a pump for filling the tank.

This loan is to construct an elevated water tank and buy a pump.
