Letty Alexandra 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.
Letty Alexandra is very thankful for these loans, which have increased her sales. She sells shoes, sandals, towels, sets of sheets, quilts, and Avon catalog products (perfumes, lotions, makeup, and costume jewelry). She sells these products by visiting her clients in various sectors of the city. Her clients also come to her home to buy these products. She provides the merchandise on credit and is paid weekly.
On the weekends in the afternoon she prepares and sells food such as hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, smoothies, sodas, and water.
This loan will be used to buy towels, sets of sheets, makeup, perfumes, lotions, costume jewelry, breads, sausages, ground meat, vegetables, sodas, water, etc.
