Karla Mishelle's story

Karla Mishelle and her family live in the canton of Montecristi, known for its rich pre-colonial culture and for its handicrafts, which are recognised nationally and internationally.

Karla is a hardworking woman who is looking for a way to earn money to help her husband to support their home and their young son. She has been able to do this with the help of her previous loan and for that she is very grateful. She has a sewing workshop in her home, there she makes and mends clothes, she also sells clothes and Belcorp products (perfumes, creams, makeup, jewellery). Karla sells her products door-to-door, at home and through social networks. She sells on credit and collects every 8 days.

This loan is to buy trousers, T-shirts, blouses, perfumes, creams, make-up and jewellery, among other products.
