Mai

Ms. Mai is 34 years old and lives with her family in Nghi Sơn Ward. She currently supports four dependent children who are all of school age, including one child in grade 6, one in grade 4, one in kindergarten, and a younger child who is still at home. She works diligently to provide for her children and ensure they can continue their education.

She has more than 10 years of experience selling fruit. Her household is classified as low-income in the local area. Due to increased demand during the early-year festival season, she is applying for her third loan from Thanh Hóa MFI to expand her fruit business by purchasing products such as pomelos, apples, and grapes. She rents a stall at the local market and often works long hours, sometimes until late afternoon. Her good quality products with clear origins have earned the trust of many customers. Previous loans have helped improve her family’s living conditions.

Her main difficulty is that her home is located far from the town center, which makes transportation and business activities more challenging. In the future, she hopes her family will remain healthy and happy, improve their livelihoods, and earn enough income to purchase additional tools and equipment to further develop her business.
