A loan helped to purchase seasonings, meat, chicken, rice, and oil.


Sheyla Ruenyin's story

Sheyla Ruenyin is 21 years old, single, and lives with her parents. She lives in Manta, a lovely city located on the banks of the Pacific in southern Manabí province, known for its lovely beaches and exquisite cuisine, and which has been greatly affected by COVID-19.

She is a young woman who likes to work and, so, to get ahead. For this, for 3 years she has had a business selling clothing, where she sells dresses, blouses, pants, and other items.

During the quarantine, her sales dropped so she established a new business selling fast food, delivering to homes. With the loan, she will purchase seasonings, meat, chicken, rice, and oil. Her hope is to get ahead and to have an eatery.
