Maria Mercedes' story
Maria is 23 years old, single, and has no children. She lives with her family in Atacames, a tourist and commercial city whose main attraction is its beaches, located in northern Ecuador.
Maria is a very hardworking woman who is always thinking about how to improve her financial situation. Two years ago, she started buying and selling clothing. Maria began this activity because she contributes to household expenses. She uses this business to become more financially stable and to provide her family with the best possible life.
Maria is applying for a $2,500 loan, which she will use to buy merchandise such as shorts, dresses, blouses, and other women's clothing, in order to stabilize her business and increase her income. Maria is very enthusiastic about this loan and wants to ensure she repays the financial institution that provides her with the support.
