Rosa Estrella is 63 years old. She is married and they have 4 children, all of whom are adults. Her husband works as a fisherman. They live in San Jacinto, a place known for its beautiful beaches, for its variety of food, and for its hardworking people, the majority of whom work in fishing.
She is a hardworking woman, who together with her husband, seeks a way to earn an income and with it provide for her family. She has achieved this with the help she has received with the loans and for this she is very grateful.
She works selling fishing supplies, where her customers find rope, thread, nets, and other materials necessary for these fishing activities. Part of the loan is for fuel as her husband has a boat, which he uses everyday for fishing.
This loan is to buy ropes, nets, fuel, and various fishing supplies.
