Patricia Celinda and her family live in Los Arenales, a place with beautiful beaches and hardworking people dedicated to fishing.
She is a hardworking woman who seeks a way to earn her living and get ahead without depending on her children. She sells pickled fish.
She buys the fish from fishermen at the local beach, then cleans and cures it with lemon and salt at home. She then packages it in tubs and sells it to the general public or delivers it to other merchants who then sell it to other cities.
This is how she manages to continue despite the difficulties she faces in her life. She achieves this with the help of loans. For this, she is very grateful and asks for continued support.
This loan is to purchase sardines, lemon, tubs, and everything she needs for her business.
