Adding to basket
35-year-old Ms. Máxima is from the community of Lazareto, which is a corn, potato, and peach producing region. She has 5 children, of whom 3 are already independent. This woman is currently married.
She and her husband have their own land and have earned a living in agriculture for more than 10 years. In almost one hectare of land, they produce and sell small, red potatoes, and corn as well. They come from a humble, hard-working family with good values. Due to economic reasons, they could not complete their education, earning a living in agriculture since they were very young. They live day to day fighting for their family's support and education.
Ms. Máxima needs a loan in order to buy potato seeds. This will be beneficial since she will manage to boost her production since she is in an agreement with a relative who wants to produce half with her and in that way be able to improve her income and offer her family better living conditions.
