Marcela Yolanda A. G. is 31 years old. She has a common law marriage and lives in Ventanas in the Los Rios Province.
Marcela is a member of the Nueve Esperanza Rural Bank, which is located 25 kilometers from Ventanas. It is a farming community dedicated to the growing of corn, rice, soybeans, beans, and cacao. There are 14 members of the bank.
Marcela has been growing corn for 14 years. She makes her purchases and sales in Ventanas. She will use the loan to invest in the supplies and fertilizers she needs to plant corn. Her dream is to own her own land and that her children complete their studies. The biggest challenge she faces is that her income does not cover all of her family's basic needs.
In her free time she likes to watch television, especially news programs.
