Maria is 54 years old and has all the energy to work and continue looking for her income. She found it in her business of food products. She has a bakery and, with this activity, has found the way to be able to survive and support herself for a number of years. She lives in the municipality of Guaduas and is single.
Today, she wants to increase her sales and reduce the time it takes to go from her house to her workplace. This is one of the primary difficulties she faces and it is for this reason that she asks for a loan to purchase a motorcycle to travel from the farm to the business when she needs to get there. Maria wants to improve the condition of her house, so she works hard in her business.
