Isabel's story

Isabel is 69 years old, the mother of 4 children who are now independent. Isabel owns the house she lives in and works as a farmer, a business she has been developing since she was very young because her family did not know how to work at another thing.

Isabel was unable to finish her schooling, she had to get married very young and her marriage has lasted many years. Currently, Isabel's spouse works in another part of the country for reasons out of the family's control.

So, Isabel wants a loan to purchase seedlings of various flowers and to purchase livestock. At this time, she has a lot of time to tend her farm in the best way.
