Dayana Michelle's story

Dayana Michelle is 19 years old, in a common-law relationship, and has a 16-month-old child. Her partner is a labourer, and they live in Manta, a charming city, where tourists are drawn to by its beautiful beaches.

She is a very hardworking woman who finds ways to earn a living and help her partner support their family. She sells clothing door-to-door, from her home, and through social networks. She sells on credit and collects payment every eight days, which is how she manages to earn a decent living.

This loan is for purchasing trousers, t-shirts, dresses, blouses and children's clothing.
