Mercedes Alexandra and her family live in Portoviejo, a city affected by the earthquake on April 16, 2016, and now with the COVID-19 pandemic. The city is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruit for domestic consumption.
Mercedes Alexandra is a merchant of various products like clothing, sets of bedsheets, and products from Azzorti catalogs (beauty products, personal care products, clothing, and home goods). She sells door-to-door and out of her house, where her customers come to her. She lets her customers buy on credit and collects payments weekly.
In the beginning, she was without work due to the various restrictions of social isolation which prevented her from leaving home to sell, but she is currently complying with biosafety protocols.
This loan is to purchase orders of household items, sets of bedsheets, T-shirts, pants, shorts, etc.
Her dream is to have her own house, lots of sales, and for her family to be very healthy.
