A loan helped buy new doors for her home.


Edith Orbelina's story

Edith, 31, studied up to 8th grade. She is single and lives with her mother and brother. Her mother works selling tamales and her brother works in agriculture.

Edith works selling tamales with her mother, as it was her mother who taught Edith. She also works in the fields with her brother, and she also works 3 days a week cleaning fish for a company. She has worked all her life since it is the only way she can better herself.

Edith is asking for this loan in order to buy new doors to put in her home, as they are in a bad state and she needs to feel safe. Her biggest dream is to have a house in perfect condition, and she would also like to have her own business. She knows that everything is possible with effort.
