Sabina Martina's story

This is Sabina, an elderly widow who has raised her children through her work selling catalogue items and cosmetics. For years she toiled to give her children what they needed to become men and women of good standing. They are independent now, and it is they who work and support her financially when she needs it as they still live with her in the family's small house.

Sabina has great experience and regular customers in her trade which she wants to continue. That is why she is applying for a loan with which she will buy more merchandise to stock her business. She aspires to keep working now to save for when she is no longer able to support herself and she asks God for good health so she can continue spending time with her family.
