Maria Geannella's story

Maria Geannella and her family live in Mejía del Cantón, Portoviejo, a beautiful place with country landscapes, beaches, and a rich and varied gastronomy, which attracts tourists who visit this beautiful city at all times of year.

She is a hardworking woman who looks for ways to earn her means and with them help her husband to get ahead. She works raising chickens. She buys these small animals, keeps them for a while until they reach an adequate weight, and then sells them to merchants or also sells them to neighbors and acquaintances

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Emily Smith.
