A loan helped to buy poles and wire in order to improve her crops.


María Elena's story

María Elena, age 32, lives with her children in the city of Pablo Arenas in northern Ecuador. María Elena devotes herself to agriculture. She and her life partner have passion fruit, bean, and pea crops. Every day they leave very early to work in the fields. They do this so that the crops are well cared for in order to manage to get a good harvest.

María Elena needs a new loan to buy poles and wire. This will help her to get a good harvest and to get earnings to cover the household expenses. María Elena appreciates your help.
