Reina Elizabeth's story

Reina has decided to request a loan to expand the inventory of her business. She will invest in the purchase of poly-silk thread and handles; with these supplies, she will continue producing hammocks.

The effect of having invested the previous loan was positive because, she managed to have in inventory everything needed to work in her weaving business. After the investment, her income increased, and she was able to cover household expenses.

There has been no change in Reina's nuclear family.
