Ana's story

Ana works sewing and altering clothing. She has two machines to do the work. She has a small shop which she would like to grow and to offer her own clothing.

Her dream is to grow her tailoring shop, generate more job opportunities and, with this, to improve her family's quality of life. With the income she gets, she helps her family, but in particular she cares for her ill mother.

With this loan, she wants to purchase materials such as thread, needles, and oil for the machine.
