Iris Monserrate's story

Iris Monserrate and her family live in Rocafuerte, a town known for its delicious handcrafted sweet treats made by locals and highly sought after throughout Ecuador.

She is a hardworking young woman who is determined to earn a living. In addition to covering her educational expenses, she assists her parents with household costs. She has achieved this with the help of loans and is very grateful for that support, hoping they will continue to assist her.

Together with her family, she runs a stationery store from their home, selling various school supplies, craft materials, and other items. They work daily, always striving to provide the best service to their valued customers who shop with them regularly.

This loan will be used to buy stationery supplies such as notebooks, pens, folders, paper, foam sheets, and construction paper.
