María needs the financial support to purchase two cows with which she will be able to increase her milk production to improve the income with which she sustains her family. Her project for the future consists of purchasing a milking machine and improving her pastures so, in this way, to increase her business's profits even more.
All her efforts are focused on achieving various goals, such as building a better house and a vehicle to get around.
