Natalia is 21 years old. She is single and lives with her family in the city of Ibarra, which is characterized by its touristic, culinary and cultural places. It is located in northern Ecuador.

Natalia is a very active woman who is always thinking of how to improve her financial situation. For two years, she has offered her services as a server in a restaurant. Natalia began to work because she wanted to bring home a higher income. Natalia plans to use this business to be more financially stable and to be able to help her family with the best life possible. Of course, her mother is her greatest motivation. Natalia believes that service and direct sales to the customer are very important for entrepreneurs.

Natalia is applying for a loan of 2,500 dollar with which she will purchase cooking equipment and tools to have a higher profit margin. Natalia is very enthusiastic about this loan and does not want to lose face with any of the clients.
