Annabell Pierina is 27 years old, a single mother, and has two children, ages 5 and 3. They live in a relative's house in Manta, one of the most important cities as to business and tourism on the Ecuadorian coast.
Annabel is a woman who, despite the difficult situation she is experiencing, continues striving honestly to be able to generate her income. It is for this that three years ago she undertook her home-based business selling exquisite lunches which allows her to satisfy her customers' needs.
It is for this that she asks for this new loan to continue growing her business. She will invest this loan in disposable items and groceries to make the lunches.
