Ecuador
Please note: Due to the current economic and social instability in Ecuador, the country is experiencing record levels of regional displacement and migration. While this is not a pattern we are seeing across the country, it is worth noting that during this time your loans in Ecuador may be at more risk of delay or non-repayment.
Mayra is a small rural entrepreneur dedicated to raising free‑range chickens as a source of additional income for her household. She lives with her partner, Luis Cruz, who works as a garbage truck driver, and together they support their three children aged 14, 10 and 3.
Mayra began her microenterprise with a few chickens gifted by her mother and, with the help of her partner, built a small coop. Through steady effort, she has gradually maintained and developed her poultry business.
Mayra’s household earns approximately £612 per month from daily labouring wages and her poultry business generates around £214 in monthly sales. The household expenses are about £126 per month, while the business operating costs are approximately £117.
After covering these costs, her business produces an estimated monthly profit of about £96. Although her microenterprise helps support the family expenses, limited space and lack of capital currently restrict the growth of her poultry production.
Mayra has applied for a loan which she will use to construct a new chicken coop, allowing her to improve conditions for raising her chickens and gradually increase her poultry production and income.
