Maria Isabel

Maria Isabel is 58 years of age, is married, and has 4 children, all of legal age and independent. She lives in her own house. They live in the city of Portoviejo, a city rich in production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruits for local consumption. It has beaches and a variety of tourist sites.

Maria Isabel has always been a good wife. She is a teacher at a state/public school, where she works from Monday to Friday and where they pay her for her work monthly.

Together with her husband at their home, she has a grocery store in which she sells assorted groceries every day. Her customers come to buy a variety of products because, she says, they are of good quality and at good prices.

She is grateful to the good people who help them with the loans. With these, she can continue helping her family with the household expenses. This loan is to buy rice, flours, milks, cheeses, sausages, soft drinks, waters, oils, eggs, noodles, and to pay electricity bills, etc.

Her dream is to have her store well stocked with merchandise and for her family to have lasting good health.
