Leticia Del Rocio's story

Leticia Del Rocio and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, a place affected by the earthquake of April 16, 2016. The city is rich in its production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruit for its local consumption.

Leticia Del Rocio and her husband have a small shop at their house where they sell a variety of vegetables and legumes every day.

In her spare time, she sells catalog products such as clothing, shoes, and sandals. She goes to her customers’ houses, sells on credit and collects the money every week.

She used to have a store that she had to close, and she is not selling meals any more since there are not a lot of sales.

The loan will be used to buy potatoes, carrots, onions, coriander, broccoli, peppers, a variety of perfumes, makeups, costume jewelry, etc.
