Mercy Lorena and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by an earthquake on April 16, 2016. This city is rich in its production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruits for domestic consumption.
Mercy Lorena is able to cover her household expenses by selling various products from the Yanbal and Azzorti catalogs (beauty products, personal care products, clothes, and household goods). She offers her merchandise on credit and collects payments on a weekly basis. In addition, she prepares and sells food for special occasions and social events. Her customers select the menu and pay 50% before the event and the remainder when the food is delivered.
This loan will be used to buy various provisions for preparing food, T-shirts, perfumes, trinkets, deodorants, cooking utensils, and other items.
