The María Auxiliadora Community Bank meets in the parrish of Sequita, which is in the prosperous area of Montecristi, and full of hard working people who are proud of their roots. La Sequita is a parrish of honest people who only know how to work and take care of their families.
María is 47 years old, has been married for 20 years, and has seven children. Four of her children are in school and live with her. The older ones live in Manta.
She and her husband work in trade selling containers and other plastic products. They work from 6:00am until 4:00pm. They go out to the country to sell their products, because they are very popular there. They buy their products in Picoaza from a wholesaler, so that they make profits. María has always worked with her husband.
She is going to use this loan to purchase more merchandise. They have been in the community bank for five cycles, and they like how easy it is to get loans, and for the informative meetings.
Her dream is to purchase a car to sell their products more easily.
