Adding to basket
Francisca Marlene and her family live in the parish of Noboa, a place with hard-working people who specialise in agriculture and livestock to provide for their families.
She’s a hard-working woman who finds a way to earn an income to help her husband with the household expenses. She works rearing chickens and pigs. She has a farm at her home and there she rears the small animals until they reach sufficient weight. She then sells them to traders who come to her house, or she slaughters the chickens and sells them by weight to the local neighbours. In this way she makes ends meet and it’s all thanks to help she gets from loans for which she is very grateful. She asks for the help to continue.
This loan is to buy food and medicine for chickens and pigs.
