Mariela Annabelle

Mariela Annabelle and her family live in La Sequita, in Montecristi canton, known for its rich pre-colonial culture and for its crafts which are well-known nationally and internationally.

She is a hardworking woman who seeks to earn her resources and, with them, to help her spouse get ahead as he does not earn a lot from his work and the expenses keep rising.

She works raising chickens and pigs. She purchases these animals small, has them for a while until they have an adequate weight, then sells to merchants or also sells to neighbors and acquaintances in the place.

So, she continues on and this is thanks to the loans. This loan is to purchase feed and medicines for the chickens and pigs.
