“My name is Exania Estrada. I am a muchacha.” Exania Estrada grew up in the municipality of Larreynaga in León. She lives in the community of Trolio with her husband, in-laws and two daughters of three and nine years old. She has a passion for cultivating land, especially in her own family garden.

“I first liked social work because in my community I saw the difficulties and lack of resources within the school system. Another challenge was the distance (from residents’ homes to school) that limits good attendance in the school. I always dreamed of having knowledge in helping communities…to contribute to helping the poor especially in the city of León” 

Brenda has always been passionate about working with numbers and finance, and with beekeeping. She first studied agronomy, the science of soil management and crop production, but later decided to focus her studies on personal finance in the hope of earning a more secure income.
