Silvia Susana's story

Silvia is a 48-year old woman. She is enterprising, forward-moving, friendly and responsible. She lives surrounded by her children, who still go to school and are dependent on her.

Silvia has always looked for ways to get her children ahead. That is why she works selling all types of merchandise. She gets up at dawn and goes to the community markets as well as the outlying rural areas with the singular objective of selling her merchandise. That is how she is able to support her children.

Silvia wants to keep working, which is why she is requesting a loan. The loan will help with the purchase of merchandise like blankets, sheets, undergarments, blouses, pants and other items. That way, Silvia will be able to keep supporting her children in their education and paying the rent on the rooms where they live.
