Blanca Elizabeth's story

Blanca studied through the seventh grade. She's a single mother and lives with her children, of whom one is employed and the other is a student. She lives in her parents' house, as at this time she doesn't have her own house.

Blanca has begun a small business: a few months ago, she started a store in her house and decided to work in this way, because she saw the potential in this area. Additionally, she works as a secretary in a cooperative.

She needs a loan in order to buy basic products to supply her store, as she is a single mother and, will use the income to get ahead, along with her children.

Blanca dreams of having her own house, and that her store develops more every day.

She wants to offer a better future to her children, so that they don't want for anything.
