A loan helped to buy organic fertiliser and pay day wages for weeding her coffee plantation.


Emerita's story

Emerita is 46 years old and lives with her youngest school-age son in the rural village of Nueva Esperanza, San Ignacio. Emerita has been earning a living growing organic coffee for 15 years, which she sells through a local cooperative. In addition, she receives further income from renting rooms in her home. Emerita will use the loan to purchase organic fertiliser and pay day wages for weeding her coffee plantation.
