Marilin Yuleidy

This is Marilin, an enterprising and hardworking 20-year-old woman who lives with her parents in a small rented house, the cost of which they share among themselves through their various economic activities. Marilin earns her living by selling clothing and other household items; this work has been her livelihood since she finished school, enabling her to support her parents and gradually build up savings to fund her university studies.

She enjoys her work and wishes to continue investing in it to foster its growth; for this reason, she is applying for a loan to purchase attractive and novel merchandise that will generate a higher volume of sales.

In the future, she hopes to establish a permanent retail storefront. The greatest dream of this determined young woman is to achieve financial stability and keep her family together.
