Estela Mary's story

Estela Mary is 38 years old. She is divorced. She has a 15-year-old son. They live in Manta, a place that is known for its beautiful beaches that bathe the coasts of this beautiful place.

Estela is a very hard-working woman who strives daily to be able to get ahead with her son. That is why 1 year ago, together with a sister, they decided to start a small business at home where every afternoon they sell exquisite hamburgers and drinks. In this way they can generate an income and contribute to hundreds of household expenses.

For Estela this loan is very helpful because it allows her to continue growing with her business.

She will use this loan to purchase groceries, disposable items, drinks, among others.
