Julia Aloida and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, which was impacted by the 16 April 2016 earthquake. The city is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruit for domestic consumption.
Julia Aloida is very grateful for the loans. Her business is growing in sales.
She runs her sewing shop in her home, where she sews sheet sets in all sizes and in special sizes that her customers order from her. She takes items for sale to her customers and sometimes they order in advance.
She also sells via social networks with the help of her children, who help her make deliveries as well. Her family members also send her a variety of products from the United States for her to sell and have additional income.
This loan is to buy fabric and elastic, and to pay for utilities and machine maintenance, etc.
