Cristina is 19 years old. She lives with her child and her mother in the city of Tulcán, which is characterized by its agricultural, livestock, commercial, and tourist sectors. It is located in northern Ecuador.
Cristina is a very active woman who is always thinking of how to improve her financial situation. For over three years, she has worked at a retail space selling cell phones and accessories in the city. For two years, Cristina has also been selling on her own. She currently already has customers and continues growing so she really needs the money to invest and be able to give her family the best life possible. Cristina began this business because she wanted to bring a higher income to her house and be independent. Cristina believes that customer service is very important for entrepreneurs.
Cristina is applying for a loan of 1,600 dollars with which she will purchase merchandise such as cell phones and accessories, all on a large scale to have a larger profit margin. Cristina is very enthusiastic about this loan and does not want to lose face with the institution which gave her the loan.
