A loan helped to rent machinery to prepare the corn plantation.


María Martina's story

María, 38, works as a housewife every day. She grew up with her parents, who sold vegetables and worked in agriculture. She is a very polite and hardworking woman. She is known for being committed to her family. She did not study because she had to take care of the household chores.

María has worked almost all her life selling vegetables and in agriculture, something she learned from her parents, and became her main source of income.

She will use the loan to rent machinery to prepare her corn plantations. This will result in a higher income, which will help her to pay off her debts.

The goals María has set for the future are to pay off the loan and apply for a new one to make some home improvements and expand her business.
