Ruth Magaly's story

Ruth Magaly, 59, is single and has no children. She lives in her own home in Rocafuerte, a place known far and wide for its traditional, artisanal sweets, which are made with recipes passed from generation to generation, and for its rice cultivation.

Ruth Magaly has a small grocery store in the house that she shares with her mother where she sells all types of products, including rice, sugar, oil, detergent, vegetables, and fruits. She works every day from 6 AM until 9 PM.

This loan is to buy dairy, detergents, tuna, noodles, cold cuts, various vegetables, etc.

Ruth Magaly’s dream is to have a bigger store and for her family to be healthy.
