Maria Julima's story

Maria Julima is 19 years old. She is in a relationship. She does not have children yet. Her husband is a private employee. They live in the city of Portoviejo, a place of beautiful countryside landscapes and beaches which are much frequented all year round.

She is a hardworking woman who seeks a way to make an income and with it, help her husband to get their household ahead. She manages to do this with the help that she receives from the loans and she is very grateful for this. In her home, she makes food which she sells at a place where she sets up tables and chairs, so that her customers can be served her delicious food which she makes with love. She also sells bed sheets, duvets and towels. She carries this work out from home and also, on certain days she goes out to sell.

This loan is to buy meat, lentils, rice and fish among other products to make food, as well as bed sheets.
