Adding to basket
Jamel is a 19-year-old young woman. She is single and is characterized as being charismatic, jovial, and hardworking. She lives with her mother and siblings in a small borrowed house in the south of the city. Jamel has taken advantage of living in a border area to start her business selling clothing, shoes, and cosmetics. Upon finishing her secondary school education, she fully dedicated herself to this work, since in this way she has succeeded in supporting her mother with paying for some of the necessities of their household. Jamel wants to pay her mother back in some way, since she has sacrificed so much in order to give her a good future. Also, she has observed that her business has increased, so she is asking for a loan in order to buy pants, jackets, underwear, sport shoes, jewelry, and perfumes, among other items. In this way, she hopes that her business will keep growing little by little until she obtains a commercial space where she can exhibit her clothing.
