Alejandra Jahel is 33 years old, married, and has 2 children ages 13 and 3. The older one is in ninth grade at a local high school and her husband is a businessman. They live in the city of Portoviejo, a place of beautiful areas that are a mix of country landscapes and beaches that are visited by both locals and tourists.
She is a hardworking woman who, along with her husband, looks for the way to earn an honest living. They work in business and have a store in the city, which they have been able to finance with the help of loans. For this reason they are very grateful. They have been able to get ahead with their family, but on occasion they have urgent costs--currently their child is starting a new school year and needs uniforms and school supplies so they can have better learning.
This loan is to purchase uniforms, books, notebooks, folders, loose leaf paper, and other school supplies.
