A loan helped to buy fabric to make better sport clothes and earn more income for her daughter.


Lucia's story

Lucia is a person who always has tried to improve her situation. She started working as a child because there were many children and they had only their mother, so Lucia worked to help her siblings. Now they are all professionals and do not want to help her out. She was unable to study because of them and this is how she is repaid, no collaboration. She only has a high school education and studied sewing to perfect her skills, since she had worked in sewing from a young age.

Now she is facing opportunities for big projects for institutions such as schools. She is in need of a loan to buy fabric to make sporting clothes. Lucia makes pants and jackets and is requesting the loan to continue to improve her work.
