Adding to basket
María José is 22 years old, single, studies psychology at a local university and lives at her parents' house in the San Sebastián parish of the Pichincha canton, an agricultural place par excellence for hardworking people dedicated to field work and animal husbandry.
She is a very hardworking young woman who looks for a way to earn her resources and with them cover her study expenses and help her family to get ahead and although life in the countryside is very hard due to the lack of resources, together with her family they try to get ahead
They have a farm dedicated to agriculture with several hectares of cocoa and banana crops. Crops that with the help of credits they hope to improve and thus enhance the quality of their production. For this they use natural irrigation systems, as well as organic fertilizers and insecticides, so in addition to having good harvests they also try to protect the environment.
This loan is to buy organic fertilizers and insecticides to improve their production.
