A loan helped to buy a cow.


Maria Natividad's story

María is 34 years old and lives in Guaranda, in the Bolivar province of Ecuador. María works in farming growing potatoes and other root vegetables, and broad beans. María also makes a living breeding animals such as cows.

María will use this loan to buy fertilisers and a cow in order to improve her herd of cattle. María will make her purchases in Riobamba.

One challenge facing María is the climate.

In her spare time, María likes to knit.
