Adding to basket
Marlene, age 44, lives with her family in the community of Cachaco, village of Lita, province of Imbabura. This is a sector where agriculture is the principal economic engine.
Marlene is very hardworking. For several years, she has worked growing naranjilla [a fruit]. With her family, she goes out to work the land and to feed her animals. This is her source of income for supporting her family economically.
Marlene requests a loan to buy seeds, mulch, and fertilizers, and to pay laborers to prepare the land and plant the crop. This will permit her to obtain a product of quality and to sell it at a good price in the market.
Marlene is happy and grateful for the opportunity and support provided to her.
