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.
María is a micro-entrepreneur dedicated to running a small grocery shop in her local community. She began her business in 2005 with very limited resources and gradually expanded it with the support of her husband. Through perseverance and hard work, she has built a stable business and became the first person to establish a grocery shop in her area, allowing her to support her family and improve their living conditions.
María’s microenterprise generates around £550 in monthly income and business operating costs are approximately £400. After covering all expenses, she obtains a net monthly profit of around £150, which supports her household and business continuity. Her husband also earns £150 per month from day labour.
María applied for a loan to purchase additional merchandise to stock her shop and to carry out improvements to a small storage area, strengthening her business operations and capacity.
