Doña Juana is 31 years old and lives in her own home together with her four children and her husband. She works as a farmer, growing corn and beans. She has been working this job for many years and this is how she earns her daily bread. She is a hardworking, responsible woman who is well known by the people in her community for her generosity and kindness. Juana has decided to apply for a loan in order to purchase seed, fertilizers, insecticides, and other items. What she wants most is that her harvest is abundant and better than in years past, as this is the way in which she provides for her family. She trusts that with God's help, her dedication and her resolve to work she will achieve her dream of improving the quality of life for her family.
