Karina Guadalupe

Karina, age 31, lives in a common-law relationship with her partner and the father of her son, who already is in school studying to achieve his future dreams. She and her partner grow rice. For 10 years, with this work they have been able to have stability and all necessities. 

Karina wants to expand her rice crops and so she is requesting a loan to buy agricultural supplies and work tools, and to pay workers. In this way, she hopes to continue obtaining income from her humble work and thus to continue dreaming of having her own house and giving her child a good higher education in the future.
