Ms. Josefa is single, 45 years old, and has two children, 5 and 15 years old, the last one in his second year of high school. She works in the rural zone as director of a rural nucleus, leaving Sundays and returning Fridays, with 15 years of service. She leaves her children with her mother who has always taken care of them. She is asking for her second loan which she will use to realize different activities if the money is raised, which are: constructing a bathroom, repairing the house, installing water and electricity. Her first load was also used to improve her life and she paid in on time and in good form. She wants to arrive at a dignified living for her children, her partner left to Costa Rica in search of work, and he sends her between 50 and 70 dollars monthly to support the household expenses.
