Marina Del Carmen

Marina is 51 years old. She attended school through the fourth grade. She is married, and her partner is a day laborer. Her children are no longer dependent on her.

For three years Marina has worked making and selling hammocks, a job she learned from her mother. She works from her house, from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. She previously sold tortillas.

She needs a loan to buy thread to make and sell hammocks. Marina wants to continue working and to be able to improve her income and her quality of life.
