Andrea Michelle's story

Andrea Michelle and her family live in Portoviejo, which was impacted by the earthquake of April 16, 2016. The city is rich in production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruits for local consumption. Andrea Michelle works serving customers in an ice cream store Monday through Saturday, and is paid monthly for her work. In her free time, she sells undergarments for women and children, selling from door to door and via whatsapp. She gives her customers the merchandise on credit and then bills them every 8 days. This loan will be used to buy underwear, thongs, boxers, bras, tank tops, socks, etc. for Andre Michelle to sell.
