A loan helped to purchase two new sewing machines.


Maria Rebeca's story

Rebeca is a helpful and cheerful woman with a smile that infects everyone around her. She lives with her children and grandchildren in a small cement house owned by her relatives.

In this place, she established her sewing shop, With which she fixes and designs clothing that her neighbors request of her. She has done this for 5 years.

She wants to get financial help to purchase two new sewing machines, with which she aspires to give jobs to single women like her who need them and, so, together to continue getting her family ahead.

She dreams of continuing to support her children and grandchildren in their projects as long as her strength allows it.
