Adding to basket
Liliana Elizabeth and her family live in Montecristi, a place that stand out for its fine toquilla straw hats, recognized throughout the country and abroad as "Panama Hats". The people of Montecristi also produce a variety of handicrafts made of toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua (fiber from the forest) and wood.
Liliana Elizabeth is grateful for her previous loan, because she was able to increase her business and her income. At home she sells a variety of products that her relatives send her from USA, so that she can earn her own income; she also has a mini market where she serves her customers every day. They come to buy a variety of edible products and also purchase other items such as clothes, costume jewelry, wallets, shoes, caps and other garments. She sells on credit and receives weekly payments.
This loan is to buy soft drinks, water, flour, noodles, detergents, snacks, sausages, clothes, sandals, makeup and other articles to sell.
