Arlen Guadalupe Jirón Romero

Arlen Guadalupe is 27 years old and lives in the San Judas neighborhood. She has been a single mother with 3 young boys since her life parter died. Arlen works as a sales executive in a business in Managua. At the same time she also has her own business selling cosmetics and clothing. She started by selling cosmetics and as time went by she was able to expand her business to include clothing sales, as well. Seven months ago she decided to take the job in Managua in order to have an additional source of income with which to feed her family. She hopes to be able to grow her business and her clientele. That growth will begin now with the application for a loan to be used to buy children's clothing, which is currently in very high demand.
