Marcia Viviana's story

Marcia a 24-year-old single mother with two children. Through her work, she is able to cover her household expenses and support her children.

She earns her living through her business of renting out parking spaces. This opportunity came about because she had the chance to rent a plot of land. She converted some of the space into a parking lot and this is the means by which she is able to support her family.

Marcia needs a loan in order to make some improvements to the lot. She needs to buy sand and gravel so that she can improve the infrastructure for when it rains in order to prevent stagnant water and mud. Her wish is to provide the best for her family.
