A loan of $1,500 helps to buy fertilizer, foliar fertilizer, and disinfectant.
Hilda Elizabeth's story
This is Hilda, age 20. She's a woman with a secondary education who belongs to the Indigenous community in Ecuador. Hilda is single and is making the effort to work and be able to have personal property to provide good living conditions for both herself and her family.
Hilda works in agriculture, a family job for many years. She has potato and onion crops. Her crops are rotating and they're located in the same area, so it's easy to go and rotate them and take care of them.
Hilda's requesting this loan to buy agricultural inputs like fertilizer, foliar fertilizer, and disinfectant to take good care of her crops so she has a good harvest with quality products.
Her desire is to help her parents and, in the future, have fattening cattle that will earn more income to improve her family's quality of life.
Hilda wants to travel to Quito with her parents this year to visit her relatives who live there.
