Flor, 28, has a second grade education. She is a single mother and has two children still living at home. Flor works as a cook at a beach food stand where she has been for five years. The owner of the business hired her as a waitress and then she became the cook. She walks half a kilometer from her home to work.
She is requesting a loan to buy metal sheeting, sand and cement to repair her house. Flor's dream is for her children to study and learn a trade.
