Nelida Sthela's story

Nelida Sthela and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, a place of beautiful countryside views, beaches, and a rich and varied cuisine, which is an attraction for tourists who visit this lovely city all year round.

She is a hardworking woman who seeks to earn her own money and use it to provide for her family. This she achieves with the help of the loans, and therefore she is very grateful and asks that lenders keep on helping her.

She sells bed sheets, curtains, and clothing via catalog, products from Azzorti, Yanbal and Belcorp (perfumes, creams, makeup, fashion jewelry). Her ways of selling are door to door, at her home, and by telephone. She sells on credit and collects every 8 days. In this way, while she collects, she sells again.

This loan is to buy bed sheets, curtains, clothing, perfumes, creams, cosmetics, and other products.
