A loan helped to buy a sewing machine.


Janne Shirley's story

Janne Shirley is 49 years old, is divorced, and lives with her children. She wants the loan for the purchase of a sewing machine, since this will help her to have more customers and offer a better service.

She hopes that this investment will provide her family with a better quality of life and greater economic stability. And she hopes to be able to continue growing as a person and as a micro-entrepreneur.

This is the first loan that she has received from FUDECOSUR. She has not previously had any other loans in state banks, but FUDECOSUR has provided her with this loan with easier terms and a much lower interest rate.

This loan is special because:

It reaches rural borrowers that are considered too risky for traditional banks.
