A loan helped to improve the infrastructure of her chicken farm and to increase the production in her barn.


Martha Lucia's story

Martha is a 51-year-old enterprising woman of Colombian nationality. She is a humble and hardworking woman. Martha immigrated to Ecuador to improve her financial situation, and she lives in the city of Ibarra.

Martha raises chickens. She has a small chicken farm at her house. She has spent five years working at this activity, and she sells the animals to her neighbors and to various city restaurants. The income has helped her to educate her daughter. For her, the business is very important because it allows her to generate income for her to live on and to send remittances to her relatives in Colombia.

At this time, she needs a loan to make some improvements on the infrastructure of her farm. This help is very important to continue with her business and increase production. Martha is happy with this opportunity, and she thanks you for your trust.
