Daniela Sahiry is 19 years old, single, and studying at a university in the elementary education program. She lives in a house with her parents. They live in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by the earthquake of April 16, 2016. The city is rich in agricultural production of vegetables and tropical fruit for domestic consumption. In order to have her own resources and to help her parents, Daniela Sahiry sells a large variety of seafood in her free time. She sells via WhatsApp and from home when she has time. Her father sells seafood at the city market every day; he is the one who does home deliveries. This loan is to buy fish, shrimp, and squid, to pay for electricity, to do freezer maintenance, etc. Her dream is to be a profesional and that her family will be very healthy.
