Gema Elizabeth's story

Gema Elizabeth is 25 years old, single, and lives in her parents' house in the city of Portoviejo, capital of Manabí, and known for several years as the city of the royal tamarinds.

She is a hardworking young woman who looks for a way to gain her own resources, pay for expenses, and support her family.

She works selling clothing from door to door, in her house, and through social media. She sells on credit and collects the money every week. In this way, as she collects the payments, she also sells.

This loan will be used to buy jeans, T-shirts, blouses, dresses, children’s clothing, and other garments.
