Carmen Yamileth

Carmen Yamileth is 23 years old, is in a civil union and has a 3-year-old daughter. Her husband works on a shrimp farm. They live in the San Placido parish in the Portoviejo canton, an agricultural place par excellence of hard-working people dedicated to farm work and animal husbandry.

She is a very hard-working woman who seeks a way to earn her resources and with them help her husband provide a decent life for their little daughter. Although life in the countryside is very hard due to the lack of resources, she fights to get ahead. She has a business raising and fattening pigs. She has some breeding pigs that she hopes to genetically inseminate. Once the pigs are born, she keeps them until they have an adequate weight and sells them to merchants who come to the place to buy.

This loan is to buy embryos, as well as food and medicine for the pigs.
