Yesica's story

Yesica is of Dominican nationality. She is 43 years old and in a common law relationship. She is an enterprising and hardworking woman, the mother of two children. She attended school up to university.

At this time, she has been in business for approximately 20 years. Previously she sold clothing, but that business did not generate sufficient income to provide for her family. For that reason, now she has a cafe where she sells coffee, juices, soft drinks, malts, water, cookies, sweets, etc. She has this business in her house. Since she was very young, Yesica has known the value of hard work and honesty. Therefore she has well-established goals, and that motivates her to continue ahead every day.

With this loan she wants to buy supplies to have a variety of dishes, make her business grow, meet the needs of her customers, and be able to generate more income.

This is her second loan with AEI.

Her dream is to be able to have greater buying power.

Thank you for supporting Yesica.
