Maira Alejandra, 32, is a small business owner who lives in the city of Cartagena with her family. She has five years' experience selling fried foods such as hotcakes, meat patties, fritters, stuffed fried potatoes, etc. Her business idea resulted from a previous business that her aunt owned where she worked as an assistant. Her aunt's health became compromised so she passed the business on to Maira Alejandra who ran it in Carmen de Bolivar.
However she wanted to attract more customers and a relative offered her a locale in Cartagena which was well situated in a busy area so she decided to transfer there and start the business.
Her goal is to have her own locale so she is applying for her first CrediKiva loan through the Santo Domingo Foundation in order to buy flour, meat and beverages.
Please support her business loan.
