Diana Melisa's story

Diana is 28 years old, and she lives with her family in the Esmeraldas province. Since she was young, Diana has worked in a beauty shop where she learned everything about the business. Now she has opened her own small beauty salon. This work generates the necessary income to support her family and cover the basic necessities. Diana wants to broaden her business, so she needs a loan to buy necessary beauty products to continue her work. This will allow her to continue with her venture and thus make herself more known in her area. Diana is grateful to those who contribute and is happy to continue her business.
