Aida María and her family lives in Mejía in the Portoviejo canton, a place with beautiful countryside and beaches which are visited frequently all year long.
She is an elderly woman who despite her age strives to earn an honest living. She raises chickens, buying them when they are young and once they reach the adequate weight, sells them to merchants who visit her home.
She also works with her children in agriculture, growing crops all year long. They grow corn, fruits, vegetables and have their own land which they irrigate all year long. They are able to continue in this business thanks to the help of the loans so she is very grateful and asks for your continued support.
This loan will be used to buy chicken feed and fertilizers for her crops.
