Geomara Geoconda's story

Geomara Geoconda and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by the earthquake on April 16, 2016. The city is rich in production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruits for consumption.

Geomara Geoconda and her family work in agriculture on their land, where they plant corn, peanuts, peppers, and vegetables. They work every day and hired one helper to help them with planting. They pay this worker daily. They sell their products in markets and rent a truck to deliver their best products to the merchants.

This loan is to buy urea, herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers and to pay for water, transportation, and to pay their employee, etc.
