A loan helped to buy pants, blouses, t-shirts, fragrances, lotions, costume jewelry, and other items.


Betty Del Carmen's story

Betty Del Carmen lives with her family in Portoviejo, a city of beautiful beaches and country landscapes, which has been hit hard by the pandemic, both financially and socially.

She is a hard worker looking for ways to make a living in spite of adversity and to help her husband get ahead and get through this difficult situation. She is managing to do so thanks to loans like this one, for that is how she is financing her business. She works selling clothing and Avon and Belcorp products (fragrances, lotions, cosmetics, and costume jewelry). She has currently been selling online through social media as well as from home, and only recently started going out to make sales again.

She will use this new loan to buy pants, blouses, t-shirts, fragrances, lotions, costume jewelry, and other items. She wants to keep going with the help these loans provide.
