María Guadalupe esta casada y tiene dos hijos, uno de 16 años y el otro de 20 años, ambos están actualmente estudiando. Su esposo trabaja como albañil en una pequeña empresa hace 3 años y sus ingresos no son suficientes para mantener a su familia, fue por ello que María Guadalupe decidió apoyar en los gastos de la economía familiar, empezando su propio negocio. Hace tres años atrás ella por invitación de una amiga se interesó en la venta de cosméticos ya que las utilidades si bien no son excelentes son buenas y ayudan a la economía familiar, al inicio empezó con muy pocas utilidades, pero con el tiempo empezó a ver que si era un buen negocio pero así como sus ingresos se incrementaban, sus gastos también por que sus hijos demandaban mayores cosas por que están creciendo, por ello María Guadalupe decidió además de solo vender cosméticos por pedido, empezar a vender comida por que es muy buena cocinera, y este nuevo producto en sus ventas le ayuda a obtener un poco más de ingreso para poder ofrecer a su familia lo necesario para un mejor nivel de vida.



María Guadalupe esta solicitando un préstamo por la cantidad de USD $ 275 para comprar mas productos de belleza y también insumos para la elaboración de sus comidas, dispuesta a pagar este crédito en un período de 4 a 8 meses.
