This group consists of 10 women and 2 men who live in Portoviejo. They need the help of the loans to get ahead after the terrible misfortune in which many of them lost part of their businesses and homes.
One of the members is María who’s 33 years and has three children. Her husband works at a mall. Through her work, she’s trying to recover what she lost. Two months ago she decided to furnish a place in her house, with what she had left, to sell fish and onion salad.
Before the earthquake, she used to sell Yanbal products but this business has declined. This is why she started selling food which is giving her better returns, but she still requires a lot of help since she lacks many things for her business.
This loan is to buy tables, chairs, fish and other foodstuffs. Her dream is that her family never have any needs.
In this group: Maria Johanna, Denny Aracely, Maria Gabriela, Mariana Monserrate, Elsa Del Carmen, Maria Trinidad, Carmen Rocio, Miguel Hernan, Josue Isaias, Norma De Los Angeles, Karen Germania, Irina Elizabeth
