A loan helped to purchase a stamping and embroidery machine, thread, needles, fabric, lace, waistbands, zippers, and other raw materials.


Monica Patricia's story

Mónica is a determined woman, seasoned to working very hard to get her children ahead. The received help has been a great contribution for her life since she has gotten another machine with which she has done the finishing on the clothing she makes.

Before, she had to pay for someone to do this to the clothing, reducing her earnings. Currently, by doing it herself, her profits have improved which has allowed her to provide a better lifestyle, giving them a good education and, above all, a stable home.

Mónica wants to continue increasing her machinery and, so, establish a sewing shop where she can offer an opportunity to other single women like her. It is for this that she is asking for help to purchase a stamping and embroidery machine, thread, needles, fabric, lace, waistbands, zippers, and other raw materials. In this way, her business will be prosperous, allowing her to continue improving her humble family's lifestyle.
