Jennifer Patricia's story

Jennifer Patricia and her family live in Montecristi, which stands out for its artisan products made with "toquilla" straw, wicker, "piquigua" [a tropical plant used for weaving], and wood. The hats made with toquilla straw, known around the world as Panama Hats, are recognized throughout the country and beyond.

From her home and by going out into various areas of the city, Jennifer Patricia sells catalogue products like clothing, sandals, Avon and Yanbal (perfumes, creams, cosmetics, and costume jewelry). She sells through social networks and WhatsApp with home deliveries. She sells on credit and charges weekly.

This loan is to buy sandals, blouses, leggings, shorts, t-shirts, jeans, perfumes, makeup, creams, etc.
