Elisia Marileny's story

Elisia Marileny and her family live in Portoviejo, a city that was affected by the earthquake on April 16th, 2016 and now by the Covid 19 pandemic. The city is rich in the production of leafy greens, legumes, and tropical fruits.

Elisia Marileny has the art of preparing special plates from the region like custards, tarts, and special dishes for social events. She delivers these to homes, more than anything on Saturdays and Sundays. This loan will be used to purchase a variety of meats, flours, cheeses, eggs, disposable plates, etc.
