Maria Raimunda's story

This indigenous woman is Raimunda, who has a thin and tall appearance. She lives with her spouse and two children in a humble house they own, made of brick with an Eternit roof. The managed to get this through great effort and years of work.

Raimunda and her spouse work plowing the land with potatoes, mellocos and beans, products which produce more by being planted in the high zones of their lands. In these seasons of drought, the crops are suffering to a great degree in their yield. So, she did not get the earnings she expected. But, she does not lose faith that God will repay her with the new planting.

For this, she is asking for financial help to purchase fertilizers, organic soil amendments, compost, irrigation pumps, and other supplies. In this way, she hopes to get her crops and her family ahead, as she dreams of seeing her children become great professionals in the future.
