Eufemia's story
This majority Afro-Ecuadorian is Eufemia. She has worked really hard to get ahead for her family and now that she has finished raising her children and they are independent, she decided to start selling goods from her own store. This income complements her income from selling fresh fish, which her children help him bring in. She's not as agile as she was in her youth, but she still has the same desire to work, because her spirit remains strong.
Eufemia is looking for financial support to have the funds to invest in the purchase of merchandise and fish to sell. This will help her produce more income from her activities, which will allow her to maintain a dignified life.
