Maritza's story

Maritza is 38 years old, married, a merchant, and the mother of two children. For five years she has worked selling groceries, new clothes and cosmetics. She is a woman with a great desire to succeed in life.

Maritza is seeking a loan from Fundenuse to construct a latrine at her house, as the one she currently has is in bad shape. This will help her improve the hygienic conditions for both her and her family. As her next goal Maritza would like to build a second story on her home and add a tile floor.
