Xiomara Jeanette

Xiomara is 47 years old and studied up to high school.  She is married, and her husband is employed by a private company.  She has three children, two of whom are her dependents.

Xiomara has a store where she sells a variety of clothing, shoes and accessories such as wallets and backpacks. She has two years of experience with this business and learned it together with her sister. Her business is 300 meters from her house, and her work schedule is from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.  She is helped by two assistants. Previously, she worked in the private sector.

She will use the loan to buy mannequins, shelves and clothes racks to organize the clothing and accessories she sells at her store.  She hopes this will increase her sales.

Xiomara dreams of better living conditions for her family.
