A loan helped to buy shelving, thread, fabric, and zippers for her work as a seamstress.


Yuri Andrea's story

At 41 years old, Yuri is married, hardworking, and highly capable of growing her garment-making business for third parties in the town of La Pintada. Her dedication and commitment have made her an entrepreneur who, day by day, strives to strengthen her business and provide stability to her family.

Aware of the challenges she faces, especially the lack of capital for investment, Yuri seeks a loan that will allow her to buy shelving, thread, fabric, and zippers. This investment is key to better organizing her workshop, improving the quality of her products, and responding more efficiently to customer orders.

Yuri not only sews garments, she also sews opportunities. Supporting her means backing an entrepreneur who believes in honest work, sustainable growth, and the power to transform her surroundings through effort and vision.
