Adding to basket
Rosa, 42, lives with Alejandro, 45. They have three children, but they live with only two of them: Denis, who is 18, and Adeliz, who is 17. The family lives in their own house, which is located in the Cumutay settlement.
This hardworking woman is a farmer who grows potatoes, peas and corn. She has been doing this work for 32 years and says she really likes to share both difficult times and happy moments with her family. Together they weed, fertilize and harvest their crops on the weekends because the other days of the week Rosa works in her grocery store where she sells staple goods. She is known by all the settlement's residents because she offers a variety of necessary products for people's daily food needs. Now Rosa is thinking about growing potatoes on a large scale so she can sell them in the country's capital city during the harvest season.
This is Rosa's eighth loan with MFP. She is secretary of her communal bank, and she feels honored to have this responsibility. When she receives the loan, she will buy 12 sacks of organic fertilizer, which she will use on her various crops.
