Gloria is 45 years old and is a single mother. Because of the financial support she has been able to boost her agriculture business and generate income for her family and her child's education. Gloria owns a home which she shares with her parents and her siblings. She completed primary education and she wants her child to have a full education. Although Gloria has limited resources, she would like to send her child to college.
Gloria is applying for a loan of $2,100 to plant corn. She needs to buy seeds, soil, fertilizers and disinfectants. This will help her produce a greater amount of corn to make more sales which will improve her quality of life, support her family and send her child to school.
