Carmen is not married but has her life companion with whom she has four children. They live in their own house which consists of just one room with brick walls and dirt floors. The house is in the community of Palomar. She works eight hours a day beside her companion farming, as she must cover the costs of education, food and basic services for her family. And farming is the only income that they have at the present.
The loan will be used to purchase better seeds which will improve their production as they don't need much watering and grow in a shorter time. Carmen's dream is to build their house to be more comfortable and secure for the family and improve their quality of living..
