A loan helped to buy materials like rubber, wicker, wood, and special glue in order to make her handicrafts.


Jessica Marisol's story

Jessica went to school through the fourth grade. She is in a relationship, and her life partner works as a private security agent. She has a child who is dependent upon her.

Jessica devotes herself to making and selling baskets and handicrafts. She learned this through an entrepreneurial workshop given at the canton's communal house. She makes her handicrafts at home. That is why she does not have to travel any distance. She starts her work at 9:00 a.m. and works until 5:00 p.m. She previously devoted herself to agriculture.

Jessica needs the loan to buy materials like rubber, wicker, wood, and special glue in order to make her handicrafts.

Jessica dreams of making her business grow and of giving the best to her family.
