A loan helped to buy construction materials such as cinder block, sand and cement.


Elsa Marina's story

Elsa, 19, is a young woman who is in a relationship and lives with her partner in the community of Chuimazat.

To earn a living she sells cell phone accessories and also cuts hair. She says she is pleased at having customers and also helping her partner with the profits she earns.

In order to renovate her home she is applying for a loan through ADICLA to buy construction materials such as cinder block, sand and cement. She is sure that with this investment she will be able to advance on her previous plans.
