Ecuador
María is a 23-year-old single mother who balances household responsibilities with raising her young daughter. Alongside domestic work and small additional income activities, she has developed a poultry microenterprise focused on raising free-range chickens.
Through dedication and consistent effort, María has strengthened her livelihood and improved her family’s quality of life while supporting her daughter’s education.
María manages her poultry business on inherited land, generating a monthly income of approximately £750. Operating expenses are around £450, resulting in an estimated monthly profit of £300. While the business is stable and growing, limited liquidity has restricted her ability to expand production and improve infrastructure. The loan will be used to purchase additional free-range chickens, maize and balanced feed, as well as to improve the poultry corral. This investment will help increase production, strengthen income and ensure the long-term sustainability of María’s microenterprise.
