Erika Marisol

Erika is 40 years old and married. She lives in Atuntaqui, a very scenic city with main attractions like the textile industry, gastronomy, craftsmanship, excellent landscapes, and nice people that you’ll only find in the North of Ecuador. Erika is a very active woman who always thinks about how to better her financial situation. More than a year ago she started to become involved in the textile sector, making items of clothing which she delivered to different commercial stores, including selling independently through social media. Erika began this business because she wanted to bring a larger income home. Erika plans to use this business to make herself more financially stable. Erika believes that providing services to the customer and offering the highest quality product is very important to entrepreneurs. 

 Erika is applying for a loan of $1000 with which she will buy fabric and textile supplies which will help her to continue to grow her business and have a better profit margin. Erika is very enthusiastic about this loan and does not want to disappoint any of the investors that support her entrepreneurship and her talent.
