Dolores Michelle is 24 years old and is in a civil partnership. She has 2 children - a 3-year-old who is in the government “CNH” program (promoting early childhood development through home visits and parent education) and a 3-month-old baby.
Her partner is an electrician. They live in a house her mother-in-law has lent them in the town of Portoviejo. The town was affected by an earthquake on 16th April 2016 and it is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes and tropical fruits for domestic consumption.
Dolores Michelle sells clothes, specially tinted shampoos, hair treatments and anti-aging face creams. She sells these door-to-door and from home via WhatsApp. She delivers to customer addresses, and she gives her customers credit and then charges on a weekly basis.
This loan is to buy orders for shampoo, creams and anti-age treatments, t-shirts, trousers, dresses, pyjamas, etc.
Her dream is to make lots of sales and that her family is healthy.
