A loan helped to buy fabrics, thread, and zippers.


Alba Patricia's story

Thanks to her effort and the financial support, Alba has succeeded in jump-starting her work making jackets. This helped her to cover the cost of her daughter's thesis. Her daughter has already graduated, and now she works to be able to provide for her granddaughter.

In any case, Alba looks to continue working, so she seeks the support of a new loan that will enable her to purchase fabrics for sewing blouses, pants, jackets, and vests. In this way, she can make her living and also be able to educate her younger daughter, who is in secondary school.
