Adding to basket
Maria is 36 years old. She is a very hard-working woman. In her life, she has had to face a series of difficulties, among them the economic situation in which her parents lived, the reason why she decided to give up her studies in ninth grade. She now lives with her two children, who are minors. She has worked hard to be able to raise them, since her husband had to leave the country to look for employment and be able to support them.
Maria has worked in commerce for 7 years. She tends her little store, which she had to close for lack of capital and because of the absence of her husband, which made it difficult to keep it active.
She needs the loan to invest again in her old store, in which she hopes to have soft drinks, bread, candies, and other products that are part of daily consumption.
Her dream is that her children can have better conditions than those that she had and to thus raise them giving them daily nourishment and an education.
