Norma Mariana's story

Norma Mariana and her family live in Portoviejo, a place of lovely places which mix rural landscapes, beaches, and a varied cuisine attractive for the tourists who visit this beautiful place.

She is a hardworking woman who seeks the way to earn her resources and, with them, to help her family get ahead. She has a store in her house. There, she sells rice, sugar, detergents, tuna, meat, chicken, vegetables, fruit, and other products she has managed to stock with the help of the loans. For this, she is very grateful as now, with a greater variety of products, she manages to satisfy her customers' needs and improve her income.

This loan is to purchase rice, sugar, oil, detergents, and many other products to stock her store.
