A loan helped to buy staple goods and personal hygiene and household cleaning products, as well as to buy another sewing machine.


Magali Cristina's story

Magali is 36 years old. She lives with her two daughters in her own home, located in La Tola parish. She is a determined, hardworking woman who has bought and sold grocery items and worked as a seamstress in her home for the past five years. This is how she earns the money to cover her humble household necessities and provide her daughters with everything they need for their education.

Magali has been working alongside Banco Visionfund Ecuador for four years, and would like to continue doing so, which is why she is requesting a loan to buy staple goods and personal hygiene and household cleaning products, as well as to buy another sewing machine. With this, she will generate more income to help her family get ahead.
