Leydi Yohana's story

Leydi is a hard-working and enterprising woman who always pushes herself to get her three children ahead in life. Doing it alone has been a real challenge, but her strength and love for her children are greater than any adversity.

Leydi used to work in anything and everything until she was able to start her own business with the little savings she had. Thus she established her own stall for selling food.

She needs this loan so that she can buy some things that she needs to improve her service. She needs to buy tables, a shelf, disposable plates, a quintal of potatoes, a container of oil, and eggs, among other necessary items for preparing her fast food.

Her great ambition is to be able to be an example for her children and to provide them an education so that they can succeed in life.
