Veronica Del Rocio's story

Veronica Del Rocio and her family live in Montecristi, which stands out for its crafts made from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua fiber, and wood, and for fine hats made of toquilla straw known to the world as the "Panamá Hat", known throughout the whole country and outside it.

Veronica Del Rocio is grateful for the loans. With them, she is growing her sales and her income. At her house, she has a small restaurant where she prepares and sells breakfasts, lunches, and special meals to those who always return because the service is very good and the food delicious. She works every day. Her family helps her when there is a lot of work. In the afternoons, she sells corn tortillas, corviches, and baked fish with plantain chips and salads.

This loan is to purchase fish, plantains, peanuts, pork, chicken, vegetables, rice, oil, plantain chips, soft drinks, water, etc.
