Stefany Mabel

Stefany Mabel is 19 years old, in a common-law relationship, and has two children (ages 5 and 1). Her husband is a laborer. They live in La Sequita, which is in the canton of Montecristi. This area is known for its rich pre-colonial culture and its handicrafts that have gained national and international recognition.

Stefany Mabel is a hardworking woman who looks for ways to generate income so that she can help her husband with the household expenses and raising their young children. She sells clothes by going door to door, at her house, and through social networks. Stefany Mabel offers her products on credit and collects payments every eight days. While she is collecting payments, she is able to make new sales.

This loan will be used to buy trousers, T-shirts, blouses, children’s clothes, and other garments.

Note: Stefany’s daughter appears with her in the photo since she had no one to take care of her.
