Angela Mercedes and her family live in Rocafuerte, a place known for its delicious artisanal sweets which the locals make and which are enjoyed all over Ecuador.
She is a determined woman who, with her spouse, seeks the way to earn her resources and, with them, to offer her family a decent life. This is in large measure thanks to the help that she receives from the loans and for this she is very grateful and asks you to continue helping her.
They have a farm where they have plantain, lemon, cacao and vegetable crops. Once they collect the harvest, they bring it to sell to wholesale merchants in Portoviejo. They also work raising chickens and pigs, which they sell at their place to merchants who come to purchase.
This loan is to purchase fertilizers, insecticides, and feed for the chickens and pigs.
