Concepción is 27 and has two children. She is a very well-known and enterprising person. She grew up working with her mother in agriculture and knows how to cultivate corn. She now works in the city doing quality control for a car-washing business. She is very kind to everyone she works with and to all her neighbours. She has two small children, a girl and a boy. Her sister-in-law cares for the children when she works. She is a responsible mother, and even though she is a single mother she has been able to get ahead.
This loan that she is requesting from Fundacion Campo is to pay the rent on a plot of land for sowing basic staples such as corn, beans, and rice. She does not have enough money to rent the land, so she has opted for this loan. This loan will allow her to buy the necessary supplies and to pay the rent on the land so that she can cultivate crops and plant the corn on time. She will be able to obtain a good harvest for the winter.
She thinks that in the future she will be able to continue to work sowing corn, since she has the support of Fundacion.
