A loan helped to buy seeds and fertilizers for cultivating beans.


Elena Cumanda's story

Elena is 31 years old and lives with her family in the community of San Francisco de Sachapamba, belonging to the parish of Cahuasqui and canton of Urcuqui. She is known for her modestry and for being a hardworking woman.

Elena requests a loan for planting and maintenance of beans, for which she needs seeds and fertilizers to have a good crop. Agriculture is the main source of income for her family. The harvest will be sold locally, in order to save the cost of transportation.

Elena has always engaged in agriculture to pay for the education expenses of her daughters. She is very grateful for the Kiva help, as it will enable her to get a good harvest and improve the income of her home.
