Francisca Antonia's story
Francisca is single; she lives with her daughter, granddaughter, mother, two siblings, and grandmother. Francisca provides financial support to her daughter and granddaughter; she has no relatives living abroad.
Francisca has been selling basic foodstuffs for five years. She started out as a street vendor, but six months ago she opened a store. Francisca runs the business with occasional help from her daughter. They work from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Her biggest advantage is that she now has many customers who love the products she sells.
She is applying for a loan to boost her business. With the borrowed funds, she will buy corn, salt, sugar, coffee, drinks, and other items. This will enable her to stock her store's inventory, meet her customers' demands, and ultimately increase sales and income.
She wants to grow her business and provide her family with a more dignified lifestyle.
