Karla Patricia's story

Karla Patricia is 32 years old, single, and a resident of the municipality of San Pedro Sula, department of Cortes. She is a stylist and for three years has made a living providing beauty services through a salon that she installed in her home.

She is currently requesting a loan from ODEF for the amount of 21,000 Lempiras that she plans to invest in dyes, creams, makeup, all kinds of nail polish, conditioner, and treatments for hair, feet, and hands.

The loan will help her to have a variety of products, which will allow her to develop her work. Her goal is to have her own shop.
