Vicente Energeldo's story

Vicente Energeldo and his family live in the city of Portoviejo, which was affected by the earthquake of April 16, 2016. The city is rich in the production of vegetables, legumes and tropical fruits for domestic consumption.

Vicente Energeldo works selling ice cream, which he buys from a factory where he has been buying for years. He takes it sell on his bicycle around different areas of the city. He sells for about 5 hours a day and also from home to his neighbours.

This loan is to buy ice cream of different flavours, provide maintenance to the bicycle, pay electricity bills, etc.
