María and her family live in the canton of Montecristi, the place of the famous "Panama" hats.
She is a hard-working woman who likes to earn her own resources and, so, to help her husband who does not earn a lot and the expenses are increasing. She works selling clothing. She goes out almost every day in her area offering her products, though she also sells in her house where her best-known customers come. She leaves her items on credit and collects weekly. For her the loans have always been of great help, so she is grateful to those who help her to get the loans.
This loan is to purchase pants, blouses, t-shirts, and children's clothing. She dreams of always having the possibility of giving her children the best.
