Tifany Ximena is 26 years old, married, and has a 5-year-old son. Her husband is a farmer. They live in Los Arenales, a place with wonderful beaches that are visited by tourists who come to enjoy the place and its varied cuisine.
She is a hard-working woman who is looking for a way to earn income and use it to help her family move forward. She sells herring cured with lemon and salt and makes an honest living doing so. But she lives with many limitations in her home. For example, drinking water in her community is scarce and she has to buy water in tanks, which does not supply her needs. This is why she needs the help of this loan. With it, she hopes to build a cistern that will help her to store the vital liquid that is essential for life.
This loan is to buy cement, iron, gravel, and other construction materials.
