Mirian Judith, 28, is married and has a son; she lives with her husband and one-year-old son in Ventanas, Los Ríos Province.
She’s a member of the “Nuevo Horizonte” (New Horizon) communal bank located in Recinto Cachely Grande that belongs to Ventanas Canton. This communal bank is dedicated to short cycle corn, rice and pigeon pea farming.
Mirian Judith farms corn and also raises animals like pigs and free-range chickens. Her purchases and sales of farm products take place in Ventanas.
She’s asking for the loan to buy supplies, seeds, manure, fertilizer and liquids for the infestations. Support from the loan will help her improve and remove weeds from the fields.
She faces challenges like infestations which occur when there is an excess of rain. Her dream is to buy land and to work for herself. In her free time she enjoys caring for her son and playing with him.
