Diana Maricela and her family live in La Pila in the Montecristi area which is known nationally and internationally for its rich pre-colonial culture and its arts and crafts.
She’s a hard-working woman who finds ways to earn an income to help her husband with the household expenses. She has a premises from where she sells handmade clay and ceramic items. She buys the items from local craftsmen and after painting them and giving them the required finishing, she sells them from her premises to passing customers. She earns her living in spite of difficulty but she manages with the help of loans for which she’s very grateful. She asks lenders to continue helping.
This loan is to buy various styles and shapes of handmade craft items.
