Adding to basket
Marisabel lives in a rural area. She left school after primary school. Her home is cheap, with a roof made of clay tiles, and some basic amenities. She is a young hard-working person with a lot of optimism. She and her parents are working every day to have the financial means for sustaining her son and herself.
Primarily, she is working in agriculture and has been producing an selling her produce for approximately four years. What she is growing she takes to provincial markets in her region and the surrounding towns.
The main crops she is sowing are potatoes in great amounts and beans, maize, and so on in small amounts and mostly for personal consumption.
Marisabel views it as necessary to request this loan to buy potato seeds in order to expand her production, to continue her sales and get an income to improve her quality of life.
