Veronica Elizabeth's story

Veronica Elizabeth is 41 years old, separated, and has four children, ages 24, 21, and 9-year-old twins. They live in the city of Portoviejo, a place of lovely places which mix rural landscapes, beaches, and a varied cuisine attractive to tourists who visit this beautiful place.

She is a hardworking woman who seeks the way to earn her resources and, with them, to offer her children a decent life. It is thanks to the help of the loans that she is able to achieve this and, for this, she is very grateful. She works making delicious fish encebollados and ceviches, an activity with which she manages to earn a living.

But, at her house she still needs to pay for her family's necessities and it is with the help of this loan that she hopes to build another bathroom for her children's room as they are now big and need their space to meet their needs.

This loan is to purchase cement, bricks, tiles, pipes, a bathroom set, and other construction materials.
