A loan helped to purchase agricultural supplies.


Gissella Katherine's story

Gissella is 22 years old and lives in the community of Guama Bajo in a family house with her daughter and her parents. They are humble farmers and day laborers in the sector. Her daughter studies at the school in the community. Her home is full of love, harmony, and understanding, giving her little one emotional stability.

Her livelihood is agriculture and working as a day laborer with which she complements her family income. As her primary source of income being planting Super potatoes on borrowed land, she wants to expand it and generate more income from them to provide her family with what they need.

Gissella asks for a loan to purchase agricultural supplies which she needs to be able to give her crops good care. In the near future, she wants to diversify her crops and, so, to take more agricultural products to the market, to have more profits and, so, to offer her family financial and emotional stability.
