Sara Beatriz is a 58-year-old mother of six children, of which three are independent, and three are still dependent on her since they are studying technical careers. She wants them to complete their studies successfully so they will be able to work.



Sara studied this fine art of knitting and embroidery long ago, and now that she has made it her business, it has brought in significant income, despite not having a suitable place to do her work. Since Mrs. Sara uses a space within her home to do this work, and the space is limited, it is important for her to improve her space. Mrs. Sara's goal is to rent a crafts workshop, and organize and develop it completely so she can share her skills with other moms in her community. For this purpose, she is requesting a loan in order to be able to rent a space and purchase materials.


With your support, Mrs Sara will realize her dream in a very short time.
