A loan helped to buy corn seeds, agricultural supplies, and guinea pigs to raise.


Rosa Matilde's story

Rosa, age 51, is a hardworking and responsible woman. Although she does not have wealth, she lives happily with her husband and children who are attending school 20 minutes from their home. Her husband works in construction; this facilitated building their house, because he knows the trade well.

For her part, Rosa supports the household through farming and raising animals. She has done this work for approximately 30 years. Rosa likes her work because she has various sources of income.

She requests a loan to continue boosting her agricultural work. She wishes to invest in her corn crop and raising guinea pigs. For this, she needs to buy corn seeds and agricultural supplies. She will also buy some guinea pigs.

Rosa and her husband want their children to take advantage of the education they are providing through great effort, so that they can have better job opportunities to be able to get ahead in life.
