Karina Maxibel's story

Karina Maxibel is 48 years old. She is single and lives with her family in the town of San Isidro in the canton of Sucre, a place known its beautiful beaches visited all year long.

Karina is a hardworking woman who, with her family, seeks a way to make an honest living. For her, life in the country is very difficult, as they lack basic services that would help them improve their lives. However, she is content because with the help of loans she is managing to get ahead.

She works raising and fattening pigs. She has reproductive sows that she hopes to inseminate genetically in order to improve her breed of pigs. For that reason she seeks this loan, to improve the quality of her piglets and her production. This loan is to buy embryos to improve the breed of pigs she raises.
