Livis Sayi

Livis is an Afro-Ecuadorian woman who is a fighter. She likes to be an entrepreneur and to succeed on her own accord. With her affable character, ease of speech, and skills in cosmetology and beauty, she started her own store five years ago selling beauty products, garments, and perfumes. Through this she has been able to support her mother and her household since her mother and younger siblings live with her; she is supporting them financially so they can finish their education. 

Livis hopes to expand her business with more products, and for this reason is requesting a loan with which she will purchase more merchandise to be able to have a good stock that will help her to generate more income for her home. In the future she hopes to have her own home made of concrete where she can live with her family, since they currently live in a building of mixed materials and she is afraid when there are heavy rains in the area.
