Josefina Marinele's story
Josefina Marinele and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, a place with lovely countryside scenery and beaches and a varied cuisine that is enjoyed by the tourists who visit this pretty city.
She is a hardworking woman who seeks ways to earn her income and help her husband with the household expenses. She is able to do this with the help of the loans, and she is always grateful to those who help her with them.
She makes and sells bollos, a typical food from the province. They are made from a blend of bananas and peanuts, accompanied by fish or pig skin, and cooked in banana leaves, which provide a very good flavor. They are greatly enjoyed by the customers who come to buy these delights she prepares with love.
This loan is to buy bananas, peanuts, fish, and other ingredients needed to prepare the bollos.
