A loan of $1,300 helps to buy typical traditional clothing such as “cortes” and brightly colored “güipiles”.

Ana Lucrecia's story
Ana is a driven, single, 26-year-old woman. She lives happily with her mother in Finca La Giralda, a beautiful place with a cold climate.
Many years ago, Ana had the idea to start her own business, purchasing and selling typical traditional clothing. Ana is grateful for her business, as this is the only way is she is able to get ahead in life. With the profits, she is able to help her mother with household expenses.
This year, Ana would like for her profits to increase. This led her to approach ADICLA for the first time to request a loan to invest in the purchase of typical clothing such as “cortes” [traditional handwoven skirts] and brightly colored “güipiles” [traditional blouses]. In this way, Ana will always be able to keep her customers supplied with fashionable outfits.
