Ana Lucrecia's story

Ana Lucrecia is a person of 66 years of age. She has a restaurant and cafeteria business with which she has obtained the necessary economic resources to sustain her family in the municipality of Medellín.

She is a mother who is the head of the family, and she has two children. In addition, she is single and doesn't have economic support from anyone.

Her strength and effort have allowed her to get ahead, even overcoming the adversities that present themselves to her because of various external factors that affect her sales, [such as] the low seasons, the lack of capital to buy stock, and the cost of the foods in the basic family food basket.

Now Ana Lucrecia is applying for a loan with the goal of investing it in the purchase of supplies such as a sack of rice, a sack of flour, and a sack of potatoes and to buy a bigger pot. In this way, she will be able to give continuity to her work, and she will be able to obtain some more stable income in order to continue paying for some family necessities.
