Petronila is a 30-year-old woman. She is married and has a lovely family of two children who are 2 and 6 years old. This humble family lives in a community in Sololá.
Petronila (she is the one who can be found in the middle of the photograph in the light blue blouse) is a woman who is very responsible and dedicated to her family. To make an income and bring her family out ahead she works in agriculture. She has worked in the field for 10 years.
Because Petrolina is a woman with many leadership skills, she has organized a group of people to request a loan together, which she will invest in the purchase of fertilizers to maintain her coffee crops.
Petronila’s greatest dream is to construct a home to leave to her children.
