Marcela Lilibeth

Marcela is requesting a new loan because she wants to invest in her business selling dried fish and snacks. With the requested loan, she will buy dried fish for resale, as well as corn and vegetables to prepare the snacks she sells. This investment will help her strengthen her business and generate the profits needed to continue meeting her customers’ needs.

The previous loan had a positive impact because, thanks to that investment, she has been able to maintain her business and keep generating income. Since the last loan, her economic situation has improved and her family circumstances have changed, as she now has two children—one who is 5 years old and another who is 4 months old. They are all in good health. She remains single and continues working hard to move forward alongside her children.
