Doña Silvia María, aged 34, got married at a young age and is now the mother of two children, aged 5 and 10, who attend school. She lives in the neighborhood of Hialeah in the capital city of Managua. Her husband produces showcases.

Silvia María is an enthusiastic and hard-working woman. She has a small convenience store. She also washes and irons for other people to earn more money. She made a living this way for the last ten years.

Silvia María applies for this loan to buy construction materials and build a porch for better comfort on her property. This is her fifth loan cycle. She thanks our institution for the support given to her through the previous loans, which she used to invest in her store and in home improvement.
