Rosa Doyimaria's story

Rosa Doyimaria and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, known as the city of the royal tamarinds, a place of lovely beaches, rural landscapes, and delicious and varied cuisine.

She is a very hardworking woman who, with her spouse, seeks the way to earn her resources and, with them, to pay her household expenses. She manages this with the help of the loans and, for this, is very grateful and asks you to continue helping her.

She works making and selling empanadas, corviches, grilled ripe plantains with cheese, soft drinks, shaved ice, and other foods. On the weekends, she sets up a table at a nearby beach where many people come and try the delicacies she makes with love. She also cooks at her house and then her spouse brings them to sell at the sports fields in the afternoons. She also sells to customers who know how deliciously she makes the food.

This loan is to purchase fish, plantains, peanuts, meat and other ingredients to make the food.
