Adding to basket
Yesenia is a single mother with a young dependent son. She and her son live with her mother, step-father and an uncle. She has no relatives living abroad.
For five years Yesenia has been making and selling hammocks. She learned the trade from her family and with the help of her mother works from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Yesenia is applying for a loan to be able to strengthen her business inventory. The investment will be to buy silk and polysilk cord, eyelets and thimbles to improve hammock production. She hopes to increase her sales volume and earn more profit.
Her goal is to expand her business and make it more profitable so she and her family can get ahead. She also wants to teach the trade to her son so he can later manage the business.
