Martha Del Rocio

Mrs. Martha Del Rocío and her family live in the Noboa parish, a place of hardworking people dedicated to agriculture and livestock, activities that help them support their families.

She is a hardworking woman who strives to earn income and assist her husband in moving their family forward. She raises chickens and pigs, buying them when they are small and keeping them until they reach an appropriate weight. She then sells the pigs to merchants who take them to other cities or sells the chickens by the pound to her neighbors and local shops. This is how she earns an honest living, thanks to the support she receives through loans, for which she is very grateful.

This loan will be used to buy food and medicine for the pigs and chickens.
