Maria Rosa's story

María is a happily-married 46-year-old woman who owns a house which, with great effort, she managed to get with her spouse. There, their two school-aged children live and they are very happily surrounded not by luxuries but by great love.

Due to the lack of jobs, María had to seek the way to undertake something, so it is that she ended up establishing a small store. It has been in operation for approximately over 8 years now. This has been welcomed by her neighbors, making her sales good.

María wants to be able to expand and stock her store more, so she is asking for a loan with which she will realize her dream of one day soon having a mini-market.
