A loan helped to buy rugs, perfumes, creams, jewelry, make-up, and other products.


Ruth Marineli's story

Ruth Marineli and her family live in Portoviejo, an area with beautiful places that are a mixture of rural landscapes, beaches, and a varied cuisine that attracts the tourists who visit this beautiful place.

She's a hardworking woman who looks for ways to earn an honest living, and it's thanks to help from loans that she's achieving this. She's very grateful for that and requests continued help.

She works selling rugs and Yanbal products (perfumes, creams, cosmetics, and jewelry). She sells from her home and also via social networks; she sells on credit and in cash, depending on the customer.

This new loan is to buy rugs, perfumes, creams, jewelry, make-up, and other products.
