A loan helped a member to buy seeds and fertilizer.


San Antonio De Padua Group's story

The borrower belongs to the communal bank San Antonio de Padua [St. Anthony of Padua]. This bank is located in the Coya district of the Calca province in the department of Cusco.

The borrower is named Hilda Higidia. She is a 47-year-old who lives with her partner and works in the farming business. She has a plot of farm land where she grows corn and potatoes. She works from 8am until 6pm. She has been in the business for many years, and it is going very well for her. Her dream is to expand her farming business. She is requesting the loan to buy seeds and fertilizer.

The borrower who is attached to the group photo had her picture taken after the meeting because she asked for special permission due to work obligations.

The other borrowers work in the farming business, carpentry business, grocery store business, and restaurant business.

Hilda Higidia is grateful to those who form part of her dream in this way, and she commits to completing the repayments on schedule.

In this group: Hilda Hijidia, Maximiliana, Francisca, Felicitas, Martina, Luzmila, Maria Cristina, Bertha, Nieves, Valentin
