Angela Armandina is 47 years old. She is married and has 3 children aged 17, 13, and 9 years old. Her husband is a fisherman and they live in Los Arenales, a place with beautiful beaches and working people dedicated mostly to fishing and sale of their products.
She is a hardworking woman who seeks to earn her resources and thus help her husband with household expenses. She has a store where she sells clothes, shoes, party decorations and many other products, and thus she manages to earn an honest living. But in their house they still live with certain inconveniences. For example, they do not have an adequate bathroom that can cover their needs and those of their family. That is why she is requesting the loan since she hopes to build a bathroom and thus cover this need for her and her family.
This loan is to buy construction materials, ceramics, pipes, toilet sets, faucets, among other items.
