Maria Agustina's story

María is 38 years old, she is in a relationship. She currently lives with her partner and three children, who are 14, 12, and 9 years old, all in school.

María is an entrepreneurial woman who, in addition to caring for her family also has her own business as a dressmaker. She started this activity 5 years ago and learned it with the support of her mother. She makes skirts, shirts, dresses, etc. Needing more sources of income, she decided to wash and iron other people's clothing. She does this in her free time from dressmaking.

With the loan she is requesting, she will be able to buy string, cloth, buttons, etc to make the items of clothing that her clients requested from her in the month of December, since this month has higher demand and is a good opportunity to make better earnings.

Her dream is to support her children so they can achieve academically and have better opportunities for employment.
