A loan helped to buy kitchen furniture and supplies to prepare her food.


Nilour Giomira's story

This is Nilour. She is a 41-year-old woman of Venezuelan nationality. She left her country with her 10-year-old son seeking a better future. She is a responsible and hardworking woman. Nilour lives in a rented house in the city of Cayambe. Here she has been able to open a restaurant with which she earns a living. She has been running her business for 5 years and she has frequent customers thanks to her good service and the flavor of her food. She is grateful for the inclusion she found in Banco Vision Fund Ecuador, because no financial institution would open its doors to her.

Nilour wants to obtain the help of a loan so that she can make some improvements on her restaurant and provide a better service. If her sales increase, she can create a source of employment.

Her goals for the future are to provide an education to her son and to buy some property where she can build a house with a locale for her business. That way, she can get ahead with her son.
