Shirley Yohana

Shirley Yohana is 35 years old. For ten years, she has grown coffee and sugarcane on her 12 productive hectares. With her husband, she has been able to build a home with her work in the fields. It is an activity that has provided her with stability and a way to support the development of her community. Her discipline and experience has made her a consistent and committed producer. 

With this loan, Shirley will be able to buy a motorcycle that will facilitate her daily commutes between the farms and her home, optimizing her time and effort. This investment will improve her efficiency in her work, allow her to supervise her harvests better and contribute to strengthening her family’s income, giving more stability to her rural life project.
