Maria Loudes

María Lourdes and her family live in a place called El Pollo in the Portoviejo canton, an area surrounded by lush vegetation where most people work in agriculture and sell their products.

She is a hardworking woman who strives to earn a living and provide for her young daughter on her own, as she is both mother and father to her child. A lawyer by profession, she offers her services whenever needed. However, she also runs a small grocery store at home, where she sells rice, sugar, salt, detergents, canned goods, chicken, soft drinks, and many other products.

With the help of loans, she has been able to stock a wider variety of products, allowing her to better meet her customers' needs and increase her sales. She is very grateful for this support and hopes to continue receiving it.

This loan will be used to buy rice, sugar, salt, detergents, canned goods, chicken, soft drinks, and many other products to stock her store.
