María is 73 years old, single, and lives with her niece who works at the household tasks.
María has had a small store with staple products in her house for 16 years and her store remains open for her customers from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm. Her niece helps her manage the store.
María needs the loan to purchase more raw materials such as basic grains, detergents, and more, with the end of improving her store's inventory.
María dreams of generating more income and being able to expand her store.
