Katherine Elizabeth's story

Katherine Elizabeth and her family live in the place of Los Arenales, a town of fishers. Its primary source is agriculture and artisanal and industrial fishing, where fish meal is processed.

To have income, Katherine Elizabeth works buying and selling fish. She purchases them on the beach from fishers who arrive with the seafood. She sells them and fillets them to cure with lemon in disposable containers, ready for sale. After this time, she delivers them to some stores in the area or also sells from her house and to merchants who come to her house. She sells every day. She also works selling clothing and offers them to her customers visiting house to house and on social media with home deliveries within the city.

This loan is to purchase fish, lemons, disposable containers, t-shirts, pants, jeans, pajamas, robes, etc.
