A loan helped to buy a jar of onion seeds and farming inputs, and to pay wages.


Mayte's story

Mayte is a young woman of 20 years of age. Her family is of humble origin and low income so she was only able to finish her primary education at school.

In view of that Mayte had to start working to support her family. Thus, she began to farm small plots together with others.

She wants to increase the area she cultivates. For that she requires financing that allows her to buy a jar of onion seeds and farming inputs, and to pay wages.

This help will allow Mayte to produce more and improve her income to support her younger siblings so they can study.
