Andrea Ester's story

Andrea lives with her husband and two daughters who are in school. For the last seven years she has lived in her own home. Andrea is the owner of a store for primary need products. She has had the business for two years, and it is located in her home. She works every day with a schedule from six in the morning to eight at night.

She is requesting a loan to strengthen her business by purchasing drinks, basic grains, toilet paper, etc. In this way she will restock the inventory of her store. Another part of the money will be used to buy two racks with which she will better organize the products that she offers to her customers. The investment will be very helpful in bringing a better image to her business, and also to give a good service to her customers and meet their demands.

She hopes to have a more competitive and profitable business to generate new earnings. Her dream is to improve the living circumstances that she shares with her family and to provide an education for her children.
