Adding to basket
The credit group "Para la ayuda de la mujer" gets together every 15 days in the canton Jaramijo, a place known for its beautiful beaches and where most people are hardworking and devoted to the sea. This is where Libida lives. She is 79 years old, widow since her husband passed away some years ago, and mother of 5 adult children. One daughter still lives at home.
Libida runs a small business at home, where she sells sodas, water, beer and sandwiches. Many people go to her house to chat, distract themselves and consume what she sells. Biggest sales are on weekends and that's when she obtains the highest income. She has been in the business for over 15 years and this activity allows her to get ahead.
She will use the loan to buy more water, sodas, beer, etc. She has been with the group from the beginning and likes it because the loans help a lot. Her dream is to have good health to get ahead.
