Johanna Lorena and her family live in the parish of La Pila, which is located in Manabí Province. The local people make clay handicrafts, especially pre-Hispanic figurines and other products that are exported to many countries around the world. Many vendors also set up roadside stands to sell their products.
Johanna Lorena and her family own an oil change and lube shop where they work Monday through Saturday. They sell motor oil and perform oil changes for cars, motorcycles, and other transport vehicles.
This loan will be used to buy a variety of motor oil, filters, and grease, as well as pay the electricity bill and other expenses.
