A loan helped to buy machinery and raw materials to improve her income.


Rosa Alba's story

Alba lives in the Urcuqui canton, a Coñaqui community in a largely agricultural and ranching area.

Alba is 39 years old, and she lives with her 4 children. Alba is a hardworking woman who works in agriculture as a laborer. She also raises animals to sell in the area where she lives and in a very busy market that is in the community. Alba has experience in this activity, which is why she is asking for a loan to buy chickens and feed. She wants to improve her income and her family's living conditions.

Alba is very grateful for the support and trust that is being put in her to continue with her business so that she can have financial stability.
