Yantzaza, Zamora Chinchipe

“I was born to a rural and humble home. I was always my mother´s the head of the household. Knowing the needs of farming people and their exploitation, I proposed myself to create a second level organization called APEOASAE. We dedicate ourselves to ecological farming and we even have exportation products. A month and a half ago a landslide took away over 20,000 cacao plants, but that doesn’t bring me down”.
