A loan helped to buy more merchandise and some shelves.


Xiomara Maileyn's story

At 20 years old, Xiomara is an outgoing, humble, sensitive, and very loving girl. 

She lives with her mother in a family villa and has focused on her personal and family growth. For this reason, she has dedicated herself to the family business of selling clothing and other household items. 

Since finishing high school, her dream has been to continue her university studies, but due to a lack of resources, she has not been able to do so. 

However, she is not giving up and knows that with her hard work, she will soon be able to continue her studies and graduate as a successful professional. 

Xiomara has been engaged in this activity for two years and seeks to expand it by having her own storefront. 

She is therefore requesting financial assistance to purchase more merchandise and some shelves to display her garments in full view of her customers, thereby encouraging sales. 

Xiomara longs to have a piece of land on which to build her house.
