Angela Paulina's story

Angela Paulina and her family 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 woman who, despite her advanced age, seeks the way to earn her resources and, so, to get ahead by her own means without depending on her children. She manages this with the help she receives from the loans and, for this, she is very grateful.

At her house, she organizes meetings among friends and they play bingo. There, she makes the most of many people coming. She makes and sells corviches, empanadas, cheese sticks and mortadella, fried foods and other foods accompanied by coffee, soft drinks or juices, to the liking of her customers who come to entertain themselves and taste these delicacies she prepares with love.

This loan is to purchase fish, meat, peanuts, cheese and other groceries to prepare the foods.
