Mireya Veronica and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, known as the city of the royal tamarinds, a place of hardworking people who, despite the circumstances, seek ways to succeed for the sake of their families.
She is a hardworking woman who is looking for a way to earn money to help her family prosper. She has a farm where she raises chickens and Creole hens. She buys the small chickens or she incubates the eggs of her hens. She cares for these animals until they reach a suitable size and then sells them to merchants or neighbors. She also collects the eggs and sells them in stores and to neighbors. This is how she manages to continue her business, thanks to the help of loans.
This loan is to buy chickens, corn, feed, and medicine for the chickens and hens.
