Evelyn Cristina, 29, is in a common-law marriage and has a 5 year-old child. Her husband is a farmer, and the family lives in Tosagua. This is an excellent agricultural area where the hardworking people work in agriculture and animal husbandry.
Evelyn is a very hardworking woman who is looking for a way to earn an income so that she can help her family to get ahead. Although life in the countryside is very hard due to a lack of resources, she tries to get ahead with her work. She has a farm where she cultivates peanuts and corn. She farms in every season, because her farm has irrigation. Once she collects her harvests, she sells to the merchants. Evelyn always uses organic fertilizers and insecticides to protect the environment.
This loan will be used to purchase seeds, and organic fertilizers and insecticides.
