Ana Esperanza's story

Ana Esperanza and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by the earthquake on April 16, 2016. The city is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes and tropical fruits for domestic consumption.

Ana Esperanza and her husband are very grateful for the loans. With these, their sales are increasing. They keep the drinks they sell every day in their refrigerator at home, so that their customers who come to buy always find the drinks cold and of good quality. They take advantage of the fact that there is a park, churches and several banking institutions nearby, where so many people pass by and buy the products.

This loan is to buy water, colas, energy drinks, make electricity payments and carry out maintenance on the refrigerator, etc.
