Carmen Asuncion and her family live in the city of Montecristi, known for the production of straw Panama hats and its diverse craftsmanship recognized internationally.
She is a hardworking woman who, despite her advanced age, seeks ways to earn her own income and move forward independently. She has achieved this through the help of loans, which greatly support her business and life.
Carmen works buying and selling vegetable ivory, a palm nut used for carving. She purchases this product from a warehouse or travels to fields where it is produced. Later, she sells it at her home or delivers it to various factories that manufacture buttons and handicrafts from it. This loan is to buy vegetable ivory.
