Maryana is married with two children. She runs her own business with the help of her family. She has a large piece of land and two greenhouses where she grows flowers in pots. She also has a side business selling children's clothing at the market for additional income. During the busy season at the greenhouses, she hires a salesperson for the market.
Maryana is requesting a loan of 40,000 griven to purchase seeds and firewood. In time, as before, she plans to build one more greenhouse on her property to expand the business.
