Claudia Isabel's story
Claudia, 39 years old, is a cheerful and positive woman who lives with her partner and her son in a rented house located in Los Lagos. Her partner works in agriculture and plants vegetables for their own consumption as well as for selling. Meanwhile, Claudia works full-time in her small shop that she established 7 years ago. She supports her partner with the money she makes to cover their basic and daily needs.
Thanks to her good service and kindness, she has a large fixed clientele. She wants to expand her store, and therefore requests financial assistance to buy a freezer, display cases, shelves, and merchandise. By doing so, she hopes to give her customers everything they need in one place. With time and higher income from her work, she aspires to have money to buy land where she can build her own house, as well as continue farming, and thus achieve good economic and emotional stability.
