A loan helped to purchase a new industrial stove, cooking utensils, a tank of gas, and supplies to prepare her delicious dishes.


Monica Nathalia's story

Mónica, 28 years old, is a young mother of two little ones, a 10-year-old daughter and a 7-month-old son. After her divorce, she had to get ahead on her own, although it has not been difficult for her. She comes from a humble home where her mother always taught her how to get her own resources so that she never lacks the daily bread in her home.

As Mónica only finished her secondary education, she is unable to get another type of job, but this does not stop this overwhelmed mother. Two years ago, Mónica undertook her business selling prepared food in a small retail space which she tends with great love and dedication.

She has noticed that her customers are increasing and she needs to make some upgrades to her workplace but she does not have enough resources to do it. So, she is asking for help to purchase a new industrial stove, cooking utensils, a tank of gas, and supplies to prepare her delicious dishes. In this way, Mónica aspires to get more income, with which to get her children ahead.
