Janeth Aracely's story

Janeth Aracely and her family live in Picoazá, known for its commerce and religious festivals, for the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruit. It's a source of progress, the main center of the informal economy in Manabí.

Janet Aracely works tirelessly in her small grocery and convenience store in her home. Her customers always shop with her because she has an assortment of products like dairy products, cold cuts, detergents, disinfectants, soda, pasta, shampoo, bread, coffee, rice, sugar, etc.

In the beginning the health crisis was very difficult for her because she wasn't able to make sales, but now she's reactivating little by little so she can continue to earn her income.

This loan is to buy detergent, face masks, gloves, dishwashing liquid, toilet paper, etc.

Her dream is to have a bigger business and for her family to be very healthy.
