Esmeralda Bibiana and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by the earthquake on April 16, 2016. The city is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruits for domestic consumption.
At her house, Esmeralda Bibiana has a display case with a variety of products to sell them. She makes the most of a daughter living in the USA who sends her a variety of products for her to sell them and get her income. She also offers products from clothing and Avon catalogs (beauty products, cosmetics, perfumes, and women's accessories). Her daughters help her with the sales online and by WhatsApp, with home deliveries, when she is busy. She leaves them on credit with her customers and collects weekly.
This loan is to purchase hats, sandals, perfumes, vitamins, makeup, belts, athletic shoes, t-shirts, dresses, etc.
