SECOND LOAN

Martha is the proud owner of dairy farm ‘el serrucho’. El serrucho means the saw. For 7 years now Martha is the owner of this small farm, and she has cows for dairy production and pigs. Everyday she starts her day at 4 am. Together with her husband she milks the cows and feeds the pigs. As soon as she is finished, she goes to a small bakery in town where she works as manager. Her husband goes to the local dairy processor to sell the raw milk. Martha and her husband have 2 sons (who both go to college) who help them taking care of the animals and to maintain the pasture on which the cows graze.

With the loan, Martha would like to expand her farm. She is also able to hire 1 fixed employee to help her on the farm.

Lendahand will provide this loan to Martha together with local partner Eclof. The loan has to be repaid in 36 months.
