Fátima, age 30, works in agriculture. She began her agricultural activities with the help of her father. When she reached the age of 15, she began to plant a quarter of a manzana [about 0.4 acres] of beans on her own, and as the years have passed, it has been increasing. Now she plants up to 3 manzanas [about 5 acres] of beans. Her goal is to buy a manzana of coffee and build a house.
She is applying for the loan for the purchase of agricultural supplies, since she doesn't have enough working capital for these agricultural cycles.
The rest of the members of the group "Las Abejas del Carrizal" are Hugo, Arcelia, and Urania, who work in the same economic activity.
