Glaneida Anayeli and her family live in Montecristi, which is famous for its handicrafts made from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua [a tropical plant fiber], and wood. Fine hats made from toquilla straw are recognized in the world as "Panama Hats," which are known throughout the country and outside of it.
Glaneida Anayeli and her husband work in selling plantains and fruit. He goes to the neighboring countryside to buy and sells in the markets. They take advantage of his having his own truck. They have a number of farmers who always sell the best products to them. They work every day.
This loan is to buy plantains, papayas, oranges, lemons, and fuel and do maintenance on the truck.
