Maria Magdalena's story

María has decided to apply for a new loan because she needs to invest in her business and thus be able to generate family income. On this occasion, she will use the working capital to buy fertilizer, insecticides, and manure. She will also invest in buckets and a bailing pump, and in this way, she will have what it takes to cultivate pipián (a type of squash).

The effect of having invested the previous loan in her business has been positive since she managed to grow the pipian at the right time. She says that in her business everything is going well and that thanks to this she is perceiving improvements in her economic situation. María maintains the same family nucleus.
