Janeth Maria is 40 years old, married, has two children, ages 19 and 12, and her spouse works at a factory. They live in Manta, which is considered to be one of Ecuador's most important ports, with lovely tourist attractions to visit.
Janeth is a very hardworking woman who daily struggles to earn her own economic resources and, at the same time, to be able to pay her household expenses. It is for this reason that she undertook her home-based business, where she sells breakfasts, lunches, and small meals, all to order.
It is for this that this loan is of great help because, in this way, she will be able to improve her business. She will invest this loan in the purchase of disposable items and groceries to make the food.
