Marbel Del Socorro's story

Marbel, 50 years of age, is an outgoing, active, and service-oriented person. She is married and lives in the municipality of Sincelejo, where she has a son.

Several years ago, Marbel started a business making clothing (excluding leather garments) with the objective of generating resources and improving her financial situation.

With the growth of her business and the growing demand for her products, Marbel has requested the support of a loan to purchase rolls of fabric, threads, needles, zippers, buttons, and other essential supplies. This investment will enable her to meet the demand of her customers and optimize her production process, consequently improving the income that she receives for her work.

With this financial support, Marbel hopes to continue expanding her business, producing items of quality, and assuring a more stable future for herself as well as for her family.
