Diana Audrey is 39 years old and in a common-law relationship. She has four children (ages 22, 20, 13, and 11) who are currently in school. Her husband sells fruits and vegetables. She 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.
Diana Audrey has a small bazaar at her house where she sells a variety of clothes for women, men, and children. Her inventory also includes shampoo, baby oil, and Belcorp products that consist of the Ibel, Cyzone, and Esika brands. These products include beauty supplies, cosmetics, perfumes, and women’s accessories, as well as baby colognes, undergarments, and other goods.
This loan will be used to buy a freezer so that she can begin selling food products, as well as hangers for the clothes she sells. Her dreams are to have a larger business and to see her family in good health.
