Hellen Yamileth

Hellen lives with her partner and a child, who is a minor and her dependent. She does not have relatives who live abroad.

Hellen has worked for seven years selling tortillas, so she generates income for her family. The business is located in a zone that is adequate for being able to sell her product to the neighbors. Her work schedule is from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. She learned the trade thanks to her mother, who taught it to her. Her advantage is that she already has many regular customers.

She is applying for a loan to get financial resources which will serve to strengthen her business. She will purchase corn and firewood to stock the inventory of her tortilla-selling business. Hellen hopes to be able to supply her customers' needs, with which she will also improve her sales and earnings.

Hellen's dreams are to grow her business and have financial stability to improve her family's lifestyle.
