A loan helped to buy fish, lemon salt, and tubs for curing and selling the product.


Aura Leonor's story

Aura Leonor and her family live in Crucita, a place with beautiful beaches, a diverse cuisine, and friendly, hard-working people, mostly dedicated to fishing.

She is a hardworking woman who, despite her advanced age, finds ways to earn a living and cover her expenses on her own. She cleans and sells fish. She buys small fish, like spiny fish, which she then cures with salt and lemon and sells in tubs to merchants who take them to other cities or sell them to local residents. This is how she manages to earn a decent living. This is thanks to the help of loans. For this, she is very grateful and asks for continued support.

This loan is to buy fish, salt, lemon, and tubs to cure and sell the product.
