A loan helped to purchase jewelry, makeup and other products she sells.


Ritha Saveli's story

Ritha Saveli is 30 years old, separated, and has two children, ages 9 and 7. They live in Portoviejo, a place of beautiful places which mix rural landscapes, beaches, and a varied cuisine attractive to tourists who visit this lovely place.

She is a hardworking woman who seeks the way to earn her resources and, with them, to get her children ahead as she is both mother and father. She manages this with the help she receives from the loans and, for this, is very grateful.

With the help of the loans, she rented a premises in the city center. There she is selling a variety of jewelry and makeup. In her less busy times, she also does makeup and beauty work. These are by previous appointment as she must organize her time for both jobs. So, she manages to earn what she needs and to give her little ones a decent life.

This loan is to purchase jewelry, makeup and other products she sells.
