Luz Margarita and her family live in the city of Portoviejo which was affected by the earthquake on 16th April 2016. This city produces an abundance of greens, vegetables and tropical fruits for domestic consumption. Luz Margarita is very thankful for the loans, with them her sales are growing. She produces a great variety of uniforms for public and private institutions, sports team kits, t-shirts etc. She handles bulk orders, employing an assistant so that she can complete the orders on time. This loan is to buy fabrics, threads, a variety of sewing materials, to pay for sublimation printing, electricity etc.
