Alba Luz

Alba is 59 years old and completed her schooling up to the fourth grade. She is currently married, and her husband works as a carpenter. They have three children, all of whom are now independent and no longer financially dependent on them.

Alba primarily devotes herself to household chores at home. However, she also actively supports her husband in the carpentry workshop, assisting in the furniture making process, specifically in the sanding and hand-painting of the finished pieces. She carries out this work from approximately 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, thereby contributing to the growth of their family business.

She needs the loan to purchase essential carpentry supplies such as cedar wood, cardboard, paint, varnish, and other materials that will enable them to continue manufacturing furniture and boost the workshop's production output.

Alba dreams that the carpentry workshop will continue to grow, strengthening their family's collaborative efforts and allowing them to improve both their income and their quality of life.
