Rosa has been married for more than 4 years to Salvador, with whom she has two small children. Rosa became pregnant when she was very young and had to work in everything in order to support her children. Her husband also had to travel for a long time to other cities in order to work to support their family. Unfortunately, their youngest child was born with health problems, so Rosa had to stop working to take care of her son, because she could not leave him alone. This is why she decided to learn how to drive vehicles at a learning institute which supports women of scarce resources. Because of this, she is requesting a loan to buy a vehicle. She will work providing taxi services for women only, which was created by the above mentioned institute for the women trained as drivers. Rosa will be able to provide this service with her son and at her chosen times. This way, she will not neglect her son nor her family. Rosa is an enterprising and hardworking person, because she is always trying to progress, generate more income and give her family a better quality of life.
