Astrid María's story

Astrid lives in San Jacinto Bolívar and works selling fabric for making handicrafts such as purses, hammocks and other items. She also earns income from providing phone call and photocopier services and recharging credit on cell phones. Her partner helps her in this business.

Support her with this loan.
