Karla Jaqueli's story

Karla is a single mother with two children aged 11 and 16 years old. Both are economically dependent on her. Karla lives with her mother and her two daughters but the household expenses are separated. Karla has been earning a living selling clothing for ten years. She started this business on her own seeing the need to get ahead with her children. She works at the business from 6 am to 3 pm. 

Karla is requesting a loan as she wants to invest in the purchase of 3 dozen pairs of men's pants, 3 dozens pairs of women's pants, 3 dozen blouses and 2 dozen shirts for men. This will be a great support as it could  improve her business conditions as her customers will have more options to purchase. She can attract more customers and generate greater income to be able to improve her quality of living and that of her children. 

Karla's dream is for this investment to give her economic stability so she can make some improvements to her house as it is in poor condition structurally.
