Yelitza Geraldine is 27 years old, in a common-law relationship, and has two children (ages 5 and 1). Her husband is a fisherman. They live in Manta, a beautiful place that is known for its lovely beaches that line the coast.
Yelitza Geraldine is a hardworking woman who strives to generate income so that she can get ahead and help with the household expenses. Two years ago, she decided to start a business of selling ceviche made from pinchagua [a type of herring]. She sells her product by the container and based on orders from her customers. Yelitza Geraldine has a good clientele because she offers an excellent product. Customers always request her ceviche because it is exquisitely prepared. This loan will be a great help because she will be able to continue improving her business.
This loan will be used to buy pinchagua, containers, and other supplies.
