A loan helped to buy fishing nets, hooks, bait, line and fish to sell.


Evelyn Jessenia's story

Evelyn Jessenia and her family live in Sitio Los Arenales, a place that has beautiful beaches and hardworking people who fish.

She is a very diligent young woman who is looking for a way to earn money. With this money, she can pay off her education expenses and help her family get ahead. She sells fishing gear. She has a shop at her home, and she sells her wares there. She also takes them to the local beach and sells them to fishermen and women. This is how she can get better sales and thus a better income. In this way, she can keep going. This is all thanks to the help of the loans. She is grateful for receiving them and asks that she keeps getting help.

This loan is for the purchase of fishing nets, hooks, bait, line and fish to sell.
