A loan helped to buy merchandise.


Ana Patricia's story

Patricia is 55 years old. She’s an enterprising and hard-working woman who lives with her family in the north of the city. She's striven hard with her husband to bring up their children who today are are young professionals. They’ve left home in search of work to provide for their own well-being.
With her small shop, Patricia was able to provide all her family needed. But because of some financial difficulty, her shop has gone a little downhill and so she needs to revive it by injecting some working capital. She’s asking for a loan to buy more stock with which she hopes to improve her sales from one day to the next.
