Graciela Idalide's story

Graciela Idalide and her family live in Los Bajos in the canton of Montecristi, a city of hardworking people who primarily work in crafts and selling their products.

She is a hardworking woman who seeks the way to earn her resources and, with them, to get ahead with her beloved family. She has a grocery store in her house and there she sells rice, sugar, detergents, tuna, oil, and many other staple products. Also, on the weekends, she makes delicious very traditional dishes with baked pig's head, ceviches and fish encebollado, which are the pleasure of her customers. So, she manages to earn what is needed and this is with the help she receives from the loans.

This loan is to purchase rice, sugar, detergents, tuna, oil, and many other products to stock the store and to prepare the food.
