Isaura's story

Isaura is a 48-year-old businesswoman. She is a married mother to 5 children, all of whom are now grown up except for one who is currently studying. She lives in the house her husband is building for them. She plans to use this loan to buy beans, chicken pieces, gizzards, whole chickens and sugar to restock her business. Her future projects and dreams include growing her business, responding to her clients' needs and finishing the building work on her house. She says that the greatest challenges she has faced are in relation to finances so she saves her money in a xitique initiative as well as receiving support from her husband, who is in the military. She plans to apply for further loans in order to fulfil her plan.
