Maria Mercedes is 21 years old. She is the single mother of a five-year-old boy. They live in La Pila, in the canton of Montecristi. It is known for its rich precolonial culture and its handicrafts, which are renowned both nationally and internationally.
Maria is a hardworking woman who seeks a way to make income to move her child forward by herself, as she is both mother and father to him. With the help of this loan she hopes to set up a locale in her house and work preparing fast food and fruit smoothies. She currently makes these things but only for delivery.
Now, with this opportunity, Maria hopes to have a locale where her customers can come to serve themselves the delicacies she prepares with love. This loan is to buy things she needs for her locale, and groceries to prepare her foods.
