Sra. Roxana is an authentic and transparent individual who is very punctual with her responsibilities. She lives in a very modest home of a relative with her partner and their children.
Roxana and her partner engage in fishing, a trade that they learned at a very young age from their families. She knows the best ways to go about her work. On a seasonal basis, Roxana goes out in search of tuna since it generates the most income for her family. In order to make four or five trips to sea, she needs to replace the motor of her fishing boat since it has worn out. It loses power easily and overheats. For this reason, Roxana is requesting a loan in hopes of improving her business.
One day, she hopes to generate enough income to buy a house for her family.
