Violeta, 31 years old, has two children, ages 12 and 5. She lives with her partner who works growing cocoa.
She considers herself a hard-working, entrepreneurial and responsible woman. She has had her business in organic cocoa for 15 years. That is why her biggest challenge is to take care of the weeds, as permanent maintenance of the plots. Likewise, her big dream is to increase the size of 4 hectares of cocoa cultivation.
Apart from this business, her other source of income is growing fruits like banana and papaya. She will use the Kiva loan for maintenance, pruning, weeding of agricultural plots, and with the extra profit save to increase the installation of more cocoa plots.
