A loan of $1,500 helps to purchase materials for her tailoring business and invest in raising pigs.
Fidelina Del Carmen's story
Fidelina has been a merchant for 20 years and works in tailoring and raising pigs, an activity which has been the sustenance of her household and a path to offer her three children a better future. However, the economic challenges have hit her business hard, leaving her without the necessary resources to keep it afloat and pay for her family's basic necessities.
With the purpose of strengthening her business, Fidelina asked for a loan which she will use to purchase materials for her tailoring business and invest in raising pigs. With this investment, she expects to improve her production, generate more earnings and ensure her family's food and wellbeing.
Fidelina trusts that this financing will allow her to stabilize her finances, continue supporting her children, and advance in her goals, among which is purchasing a machine which will streamline her work and allow her to continue growing in her productive activities.
