Roseline Delonser is bank coordinator for the bank of Dios Puede. She is 30 years old, single and has the responsibility for three children. The children are 12, 10 and 3 years old.

Roseline has for a long time had a small business buying and selling clothes, but it was very difficult for her to make a living for herself and her children. Then she received her first loan ever from Esperanza of 5 000 pesos (about $ 150). This made it possibly for her to buy more clothes that she could sell, and her earnings increased. Today her monthly sale amounts to about 9 000 pesos (about $ 250), a large increase compered to what it used to be.

Roseline has now paid back her first loan and is about to receive her second loan from Esperanza of 9 500 pesos (about $ 270). She is excited about how that will make it possibly for her to increase her business even more and improve her own and her children´s life. Her children are the most important in her life, and Roseline hopes they one day will be able to study at the university.
