Deonilda is a hard-working woman, 50 years old, who lives in a rural locale of El Arenal, which is located in Arequipa. She works at various jobs, such as an agricultural laborer and growing organic garlic. She asks for a microloan to be able to maintain her garlic crop, which is to say to purchase organic manure and to pay the people who help her maintain it. Deonilda hopes in the not-very-distant future to be able to improve her house to be able to live comfortably.
