A loan helped to purchase compost and seeds so that the crop is of good quality.


María Antonia's story

Maria is 40 years old. She did not have the opportunity to study since her parents did not want to send her to study. She is in a relationship and her husband makes a living from agriculture. Maria has had 5 children. 4 of them live with them and the other has already formed his own family.

Maria has made a living from agriculture since she was 15 years old. This was taught to her by her father since she was very close to him. Later, the young Maria entered in a relationship. Since then, she has worked in agriculture with her partner and two children. They are involved in this work and travel a distance of 10 minutes on foot on the schedule of 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

The loan requested from CrediCampo is needed to purchase compost and seeds so that the crop is of very good quality. She is preparing it already in the first storms that have come. She hopes to God that it is a very good winter so that the harvests are abundant and the family’s income is sufficient.

Her greatest dreams are to continue working so that her children who are in school can continue to prepare themselves academically and be good professionals, and that they do not become like her parents who did not want to send her to school.
