Aura Esther is 47 years old, in a common-law relationship, and has 2 children attending university who are 26 and 24 years old. Her husband is a fruit and vegetable merchant. They live in their own house, in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by the April 16, 2016 earthquake. The city is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes and tropical fruits for domestic consumption.
To earn on her own, she prepares and sells a variety of typical dishes such as baked pig's head accompanied with rice, roasted plantains, and salads from a cart in the city market. She works every day.
This loan is to buy a variety of groceries to continue preparing her delicious dishes. Her dream is to have her own stall and her family to be very healthy.
