Angelica Monserrate's story

Angelica Monserrate and her family live in Montecristi, a beautiful place with hardworking, kind people and ancestral traditions. They are skilled with their hands and make handicrafts from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua, and wood. They specialize in making fine toquilla straw hats, recognized throughout the country and beyond.

Angelica Monserrate is a great mother and woman who, in her free time in the evenings, sells products from Yanbal and Avon catalogs (beauty products, cosmetics, perfumes, and accessories for women). She visits her clients so they can choose what they need and delivers the merchandise on credit. She collects payment every 8 days, thus maintaining sales, and at home she has products at discounts; she sells every day. She is very grateful to the people who help her with loan, so she can continue to improve her sales and hopes they will continue to support her.

This loan is for purchasing lipsticks, deodorants, masks, soaps, eyeliners, nail polish, hair rinses, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc.
