Maria Julima is 18 years old. She is in a free-union relationship and at the moment has no children. Her partner sells fruits and beer. They live in their own house in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by the earthquake of April 16, 2016. The city is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruits for domestic consumption.
Maria Julima sells fruits and beer, along with her husband. In their house, they have a little space where they offer a variety of fruit every day. Her husband also goes out to sell the fruits from a cart, where their customers always ask for their products, and she sells at home.
This loan is to buy pineapples, grapes, apples, papayas, bananas, oranges, lemons, giant passion fruit, etc.
Her dream is to have more sales and for her family to have good health.
