Nancy's story

Nancy, 56, is a pleasant and hardworking woman. She is married to Marcelo, 59, with whom she has five children, to whom she always tries to give an education and for them to be good people in the future. Together their live in their own house, and she works a lot every day to have a peaceful old age.

Every day Nancy goes to the market closest to her house. There she looks for the best ingredients and the freshest products to later go home and begin preparing her delicious dishes. She leaves everything ready, and from 5 in the afternoon on she sets up her table and chairs in the front part of her house where she begins to offer the most delicious and tasty previously prepared foods.

This is how she earns a living, since cooking is her passion. She also has the advantage of having done this work before, but she left it for personal reasons. Now she has been doing this work without interruption for eight years, and she hopes to continue working longer, with the goal of making progress.

This will be her eighteenth loan with MFP, for which she hopes for your collaboration so she can get on with her goals. On the other hand, she promises to make her payments punctually, as with the previous loans she had.

With the requested loan of 3000 PEN she will buy ingredients and supplies to continue with her job selling food. She also will fix and set up furniture to offer her customers greater comfort.
