Mrs. Rosa Urbina is 51 years old and is the single mother of one daughter, who is already married. They work together at Rosa's small restaurant, where she sells breakfast and lunch. Her sales have been slow lately, and she sometimes has to waste food when she can't sell it; she struggles each day to improve her economic situation. She lives in a neighborhood called South Waspan in the Nicaraguan capital city of Managua. Her goal is to finish the home improvements she has been making, little by little. She hasn't been able to do all of the construction at once because it would be very expensive.

She has been with Afodenic for three loan cycles now, and in this loan cycle she plans to buy meat, chicken, vegetables, fruits, basic grains, sodas, and other items to improve service at her restaurant and boost sales. She has already invested a lot of money in her business, and since she allows her clients to pay on credit, she needs the money up front in order to make this investment. She is grateful to Afodenic for the benefits she has obtained through loans; she has been able to make improvements to her business and in her personal life, and she is now better able to satisfy her own personal needs.
