María is 25 years old and studied through the third grade. She is single and has a daughter who is dependent on her. Her grandmother also lives with them.
María has been raising and selling pigs for one year. She learned this trade on her own so that she could generate income to support her daughter. The animal pen is located near her house. She works every day, starting at 5:30 A.M.
María needs a loan to buy pigs to fatten and sell. In addition, she will buy materials to renovate the pen for her animals. She dreams of providing her daughter with a quality academic education.
