Nancy Del Jesus's story

Nancy Del Jesús and her family live in Los Bajos de Montecristi, which stands out for the crafts made from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua, and wood, and fine hats made from toquilla straw known to the world as the "Panamá Hat".

Nancy Del Jesús is an example of a hardworking woman who helps her father with the sales of fruits, vegetables, and legumes. She sells them at a place at her house where her customers come to buy every day. She also sells clothes and costume jewelry. She takes advantage of the fact that a lot of customers always come, and she offers these items. This way she is able to sell them. She sells to her customers on credit, and she collects every eight days.

On the patio of her house she has some pigpens where she raises and sells pigs. She sells them when they are big. She sells them alive to merchants who come to buy them.

She is very profoundly grateful for the help and the way in which people are always ready to help them. This way she is always able to give the best to her family.

This loan is to buy vegetables, fruits, t-shirts, dresses, shorts, shirts, pigs, and food, etc.
