Angelica is 31 years old and lives with her partner. She has three children who have already started pre-school. Her husband works as a shrimp seller, and she earns her living as a farmer with ten years' experience growing lemons.
Angelica wishes to expand her work as a farmer so she is seeking a loan to pay for inputs to spread on her crops and be able to grow more lemons. This investment will allow her to increase production resulting in more income to pay for household necessities. She and her husband are focussed on working to educate their children, and be able to buy their house and land so they can continue expanding their farm.
