The Communal Bank "Dios Con Nosotros" [God With Us] meets every two weeks in the residential area el Florón in the city of Portoviejo, the provincial capital of Manabí, known as the City of the Valley because it is surrounded by many hills.
Here we meet with Ennita, 30, who is in a committed relationship by which she has four children of 13, 11, 10 and 8 years. The oldest is in his first year of middle school while the others are in elementary school.
Along with her husband she works selling household items such as irons, blenders, pots and pans, dishware and many additional products. They work from Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. when they return home. Their way of selling is to go to the countryside since they are able to sell more there. They purchase their items in the store called Fátima Pin en Portoviejo where they have good prices for selling.
She has been with the Communal Bank for three loan cycles and is pleased with the level of attention the institution shows the associates. She will use this loan for purchasing her products.
Her dreams are to finish her house which is under construction and some day to have a car so as to travel more comfortably to make her sales.
