María, age 62, only studied until the 6th grade of school since due to financial reasons, her parents were not able to support her. She has a life partner who works in farming.
María has sold commodities for over 15 years, a trade she learned on her own and that became a source of income to get ahead.
She serves her customers from 6:00 am until 6:00 pm.
She will use the loan to buy materials such as cement, sheets, wood, and others to expand her shop.
María’s wish is to continue working and have a good health.
