Luis Jahir and his family live in the city of Portoviejo. It suffered an earthquake on April 16, 2016. It is a city rich in the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruits for internal consumption.
Luis is a master builder. He works when his services are required for repairs and maintenance to homes, and when he is contracted to do construction work. He is paid for his work weekly or daily.
In his free time he helps his mother sell products from Yanbal and Avon catalogs, such as beauty products, cosmetics, perfumes and women's accessories. He has customers who always seek a variety of products. He leaves his merchandise on credit, and collects payment every eight days.
Luis' mother also does manicures in people's homes. This loan is to buy perfumes, jewelry, creams, and a variety of makeup. Luis will also buy various tools, such as nail clippers, files, cuticle nippers, etc.
