Adding to basket
The San Juan Eudes communal loan group meets every two weeks in Montecristi canton, known for its rich precolonial culture and for its crafts, which are known nationally and internationally. It's also home to the famous palm straw hats.
Gina lives in this place. She is 37 years old, married, and in this relationship has two children, ages 12 and 9, who go to secondary and primary school. Her husband is a driver.
Gina is a very determined woman. She works in sales, selling all sorts of clothing and Yanbal products (beauty products, perfumes, cosmetics, and accessories). She works every day in the morning since at this time it is easier to go out and visit her customers. She leaves all the products on credit and collects every two weeks. She has been doing this job for more than 15 years, with which she gets ahead.
This loan is to purchase clothing, creams, perfumes, costume jewelry and other products. She has been in the communal loan group for more than 17 years and she likes it for the benefits and help that the institution offers. Her dream is that her children get a good education.
