Giovanna Del Rosario Saavedra Zamora

Giovanna used her own money to start a bakery business. She is 45 years old and lives in the Laureles Sur neighborhood of Managua. She's married and has 3 beautiful children, 2, 7 and 15. She and her husband, who is in Costa Rica, are saving money to educate their kids and make on-going improvements to their house. With the loan she is going to replace the roof so that water doesn't pour in during the winter and finish the house's porch.
