Isabel Paola's story

Isabel Paola and her family live in the city of Portoviejo. It was affected by the earthquake of April 16, 2016. The city is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruit for domestic consumption.

Isabel Paola and her family are very grateful for the loans. Her sales have increased, and she is still delivering lunches and special dishes, and catering social and business events. They work Monday through Friday and prepare food to order for a fee.

This loan is to buy chicken, beef, fish, vegetables, fruit, disposable containers, cutlery, glassware, dishes, etc.
