Maria is 56 years old. She lives in her own house with her husband and their two children; the elder child attends the University.
Maria sells food which she takes to the factories and farms in the area. She started the business three years ago with a small amount of capital. She began with just a few customers, but with good seasoning and good prices, she has gained more customers.
Maria's dream is to be able to help her children with their dreams of studying so they can have a better future. This is why she started the business, and also so she can help with household expenses. She is asking for the loan to buy a stove and some new cabinets.
