Maria Magdalena's story

María Magdalena is 34 years old, separated, and lives with her 3 children in their own house. She lives in a large community belonging to the city of Cayaltí, which belongs to the province of Chiclayo, in the region of Lambayeque, on the north coast of Peru. The residents of this community work primarily in agriculture, commerce, and cattle.

María Magdalena has been selling clothing and shoes for women and men from her home for more than 2 years. She has good personal and work references from her neighbors. She is requesting a loan to buy clothing and shoe merchandise to better stock her business. In this way, she can grow her business, earn more income, and improve her quality of life.
