A loan helped to buy merchandise for her store such as beans, lentils, garbanzo beans, and other items.


Maria Isolina's story

Maria is a hardworking woman who is organized, persevering, dedicated to her family, and passionate about her work.

For the last three years, Maria has worked as an independent entrepreneur. She has a store located in the center of the city. She works 10-hour days there every day. She has the advantage of not having much competition because she is already known among the locals and has regular customers.

With the support of this loan, Maria will build up her inventory by buying merchandise such as beans, lentils, garbanzo beans, and other items. This will allow her to have a bigger variety available to offer to her clients and increase sales.

Maria's biggest desire is to keep building up and accrediting her business because that will increase its profitability and give her the economic capacity to make some improvements to her home. This will let her enjoy a better quality of life in the company of her family.
