María's story
María is an experienced rural farmer from Elías, Huila, who began working in the countryside at the age of 12. She owns a half-hectare farm where she has planted more than 3,000 coffee plants of two varieties. She cares for them by carrying out planting, cleaning, fertilizing, harvesting, and drying tasks, ensuring that each process is done carefully to maintain the quality of the beans. Thanks to this responsible crop management, Maria achieves stable production that allows her to generate steady income and strengthen the sustainability of her coffee-growing activity.
María lives with her husband in a house they built together half an hour from her land. She has two independent adult children who have formed their own households and continue to support her when necessary.
A loan of $5,199,456 COP allows María to purchase a motorcycle that will optimize her travel between her farm and her home. This investment will reduce travel time, facilitate the transport of tools and supplies, and improve efficiency in the daily management of her coffee-growing activity.
