A loan helped to grow pumpkins.


Yolanda's story

Yolanda, a single woman, age 40, lives in the community of Pucchun. She has a long history of 21 years in the agricultural sector, specifically in agricultural support activities. With her experience and knowledge, Yolanda seeks to diversity her areas of cultivation, requesting a micro-loan to grow pumpkins.

Aware of the commercial potential of pumpkin, and backed by her years of experience, Yolanda seeks to generate new income to sustain and improve the family economy. Diversifying her crops not only will ensure greater financial stability, but also will provide savings and investment opportunities for future agricultural projects.

Growing pumpkin that will be easily sold with a low risk of loss represents a profitable opportunity for Yolanda. This strategy not only will benefit her current financial situation, but also will will lay the foundation for continuous and sustainable growth in her agricultural activity.

Yolanda is determined to make the most of this micro-loan to expand her farming business and to ensure a prosperous future for herself and her family. With her determination and experience, she is ready to face the challenges and to capitalize on the opportunities that pumpkin farming offers in her community.
