Mrs. Celestina is 45 years old; she’s married to Melchor Sosa. He is a technician for electronic equipments and they have a 27 year old son. Their son is a university student and he also helps his parents in his micro-enterprise. Celestina and her husband manage two businesses where they provide maintenance, repairs and also sell electronics and auto equipment. They started out as employees and they saved enough capital to start their own business and become independent professionals. They achieved this 20 years ago, and their income multiplied so they opened a new store in the neighboring city of Mariano R. Alonso, which was also well received by the local market. Mrs. Celestina comments that she is very proud of her job and that the most important thing is to give the opportunity to 6 young professionals to have a job. Her dream is to open another store where her son will be manager and create more job opportunities to her family members. She is asking for a loan to buy radios, speakers, loudspeakers and other electronic equipment replacements.
