Maria is part of Ventanilla Guantucoto (Service Point Guantucoto), located a half-hour from Guaranda. This is a group that makes a living in agriculture and livestock, especially in the cultivation of corn and potatoes in the mountain zone, and rice in the coastal zone. This service point has 25 members.
María has made a living in agriculture for many years. She cultivates corn and potatoes and also raises animals and livestock to later sell. She does her shopping in Guaranda and she sells her products in the wholesale market in the same city.
She is asking for a loan to buy fertilizers for the sowing of corn and potatoes. The loan would help her economically to supplement family necessities. They face challenges such as crop plagues and sicknesses. Her dream is to buy land and to own a house for the family. She likes cleaning the house and spending time with her children.
