Jenny Lucia

Jenny Lucia is 38 years old, is divorced, and has two children aged 17 and 9 years old, who are studying in school. She lives in her own home. The family lives in Los Bajos de Montecristi, known for its artisan products made from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua fiber and wood, such as the fine toquilla straw hats known throughout the world as "Panama Hats."

Jenny Lucia is a great mother who works every day to give the best to her children. In her home, she has a small store where she makes plantain chips (by cutting green plantains in thin rounds and frying them in an abundance of hot oil, then removing them and covering them in refined salt). These typically are a garnish that accompanies ceviche.

Jenny Lucia works with the help of one assistant, whom she pays daily. Also, in her free time, she sells shoes from a catalogue. She visits her clients' homes and sells on credit with payments every 8 days.

Jenny Lucia is very thankful for the people with good hearts that help her with her loans, so that she can give a good life to her children.

This loan is to buy plantains, oil, kitchen utensils, shoes, etc.

Jenny Lucia's dream is to have many sales and a healthy family.
