Virginia is single. She has a 3-year old daughter who is her dependent. She and her daughter live with her mother. She has family members who live overseas.
Virginia's business involves selling tortillas. To do her job, she counts on her mom's support, who was the one that taught her the job. Together they work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Her advantage is that since she opened her business 2 years ago, she has been able to run it and get an income for the family.
She is asking for a loan to have the economic resources that will allow her to invest in her business. With the given funds, she will be able to buy corn, lime and firewood. These supplies will be helpful for her to improve her tortilla production.
The investment will help drive her business, reduce costs and get more earnings. Virginia's dream is to cover the fundamental needs of her family.
