Zulma Esther's story
Zulma is a single mother of a 16-year-old son. She and her son's father separated a long time ago. Zulma lives with her son and a sister. She does have relatives who live abroad and they sometimes support her financially. Zulma's business is selling basic necessities, a trade she learned by trial-and-error. Zulma started her own business a year ago and it's located in a rented space. She runs her business everyday from Monday to Sunday.
She is requesting a loan because she needs financial resources to boost her business. Zulma will use the borrowed funds to buy sausages, dairy products, beverages, and other products to stock and diversify her store's inventory. Zulma hopes that the loan will help her reduce costs, thereby increasing her sales and profits.
Her dreams are to grow her business and have financial stability to pay for her son's college education.
