Mildred Ariana and her family live in the Canton of Montecristi, known for its rich pre-colonial culture and for its handicrafts, which are recognised nationally and internationally.
Mildred is a hard-working woman who is looking for a way to earn her money and use it to help her husband to support their home and their young children. She has a sewing workshop in her home, where she makes and mends clothes. She also sells plastic products such as plates, cups, bowls, spoons, pastry cases, and many other items. Mildred sells her products from home and also goes out to sell around town. She is therefore able to earn an honest living and this is thanks to the loans that are very helpful and for which she is very grateful.
This loan is to buy sewing materials, plates, chairs, glasses, buckets and brooms, among other items.
