Amada Bienvenida's story

Amada Bienvenida and her family live in Los Arenales, a place with beautiful beaches and hardworking people who work in fishing. She's a hardworking woman who despite her advanced age looks for ways to earn an honest living, which she manages with the help from loans. That's why she's very grateful and asks that they continue to help her.

She and one of her children work buying and selling fish. They buy small fish like alewife that they deliver to companies in Manta that prepare sardines. They also buy big fish and shrimp that they sell to neighbors in the area or take to other cities on order.

This loan is to buy alewife, fish, shrimp, and other shellfish.
