Mariela Vanessa's story

Mariela is 18 years old. She completed primary school. At this time, she is single and lives with her parents.

Mariela sells beauty products via catalog. She has 2 years' experience doing this work, which she learned thanks to her mother's example. She works Monday through Friday from 3:00 to 5:00 pm in her community and in nearby areas.

She will use the loan to buy beauty products for women, perfume, and skin care products. This way, she will have a variety of products for her customers.

Mariela's dream is to have her own store and to have a variety of products to provide the best service and products to her customers.
