Celina Elisama

Celina, a young 22-year-old merchant and stylist, has spent four years in establishing her small beauty salon. Her business has become the main source of income for her household, even though she has faced the difficulties of not having adequate equipment to provide complete service. Her living conditions are humble, but she has a strong desire to improve. Her goal is to keep growing and strengthen her position in her community.  Her dedication and daily effort are the basis of her progress.

With her loan Celina will buy shelving, a shampoo dispenser, and a chair to improve comfort and service in her salon. With this new equipment, she has been able to improve client satisfaction and generate more income. This investment allows her to work more efficiently and professionally. In the future, she wishes to continue strengthening her business until she becomes self-sufficient.  For her, this support represents a key step to a prosperous future.
