Luisa

Luisa is a woman who works very hard at everything she does but most of all in her role as a mother. She and her husband are completely devoted to their four children and their little grand-daughter who fills their home with happiness. The desire to build up a sustainable business has driven her since she was young, and when she got married she began to sell chicken and vegetables in the markets. She knew enough to save up her money when times were good and now she has set up a store, which helps out with the household expenses. In this way she helps out her husband with the costs of educating their children, who are taking advantage of the opportunity provided by their parents. Luisa has been running her store for eight years. Now she has regular customers who have also become friends of the family and she tries to keep her store stocked with quality products for them at reasonable prices so that she doesn't lose her customers. Luisa wants to expand her store for them and make it into a bazaar where she would be able to offer a variety of other products. This is her 29th loan with Microfinanzas PRISMA, and in all this time her work with her associates has been acceptable. Although they have faced difficult circumstances, together they have been able to overcome them and learn from them. The investment she needs to make is for the purchase of merchandise and display cases necessary to attract the public. The cost will be 3,200 Sols.
