Esther Estrada

Esther has a store where she sells all types of food items. She has 3 years of experience. When she married her husband he motivated her to start a bazaar with some savings and loaned her $100. Later she started a food store because she was selling more food than other types of products. Her store is located in her mother's home; she is adapting an area of her own home, across the street, so that she'll be able to move the business there. She tends to the store every day of the week from 7 am to 9 pm. Her mother helps her take care of the business.

She needs the loan to food staples and buy milk products and meat. She has turned around the capital she initially invested in the business, which has allowed her to grow.

Esther was born on Guayaquil. She is 21 years old. She does not have any children. Her husband works as a door to door salesman selling eyeglasses and cases for cell phones. They are a young couple who fight to get ahead. Thanks to her husband's savings they bought a plot of land where they plan to build their house out of cane. Their dream is that their businesses grow, since they are the couple's only source of income.
