A loan helped to buy a refrigerator for storing her supplies, as well as meats, eggs, vegetables, and other ingredients.


Maria Ester's story

María lives with her husband and their two children, ages 8 and 5. Both of her children are financially dependent. She has relatives who live abroad. María owns an eatery where she sells mainly breakfasts and lunches. She works Monday through Friday from 5:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. María opened her business a year ago and has one employee.

She chose to request a loan so that she can inject operating capital into her business. The loan will be used to buy a refrigerator for storing the supplies for her eatery. In addition, she will acquire meats, eggs, vegetables, and other ingredients. Her goal with this investment is to increase her sales and profits.

María dreams of keeping her food business in operation so that she can achieve financial stability and support her family.
