Maria Fernanda's story

Fernanda, age 18, lives with her parents in the south of the city. She is studying in the local university; her greatest dream is to be a professional, to offer a better future to her family.

To reduce the burden on her parents of paying for her studies, Fernanda decided to start a business selling clothing to her classmates, professors, and neighbors in general. Thus she earns some money to cover some of her expenses.

Fernanda wishes to receive a loan to buy more merchandise and thus to stock more garments, offering her customers new and quality items.
