Adding to basket
42 year old Maria is married and has 9 children, but not all of them live with her as 4 of them are already grown up and have their own families. Her husband works in agriculture to cover the household expenses.
Maria helps her husband with the work of sowing staple grains. For her, it is hard and tiring work, but she does it willingly because it is due to this work that her children have what they need.
Maria needs the loan to buy agricultural supplies to begin preparing the corn field as she does not have the money to buy all that she needs and it is the sowing season.
Maria wants her children to have a better quality of life and study at the university so that they can be successful people.
