Ecuador
Loan description:
Enriqueta Gonzalez is 71 and a small-scale farmer from near the town of Catamayo in southern Ecuador. She has had many challenges in her life - her father died when she was 11 and because of lack of financial resources she did not complete primary school and instead started working when she was still a child. Her mother re-married but Enrriqueta had a very difficult relationship with her stepfather. She married when she was still a young teenager and thankfully her husband has been very supportive all these years. They had ten children all of whom are now adults themselves. She has worked as a farmer all her life - during the 1950s and 1960s they harvested and took their produce to market on donkeys and carts due to the lack of roads and infrastructure. Although her husband has now passed away she continues to grow coffee, maize and beans . This way she earns her own income and is not a financial burden upon anyone. Enrriqueta requested a loan in order to help pay for labour that she needs to contract in order to help her plough and prepare part of the land for the next sowing as well as harvest other crops.
