Elizabeth, age 24, is a determined single mother. She lives at her mother’s house. They help one another. Her five-year-old daughter attends preschool. Her two previous loans were a great help in her work. She was able to start new projects and is currently studying to become a stylist.
Elizabeth owns a small restaurant that she manages with her cousin and a friend. Her goal is to continue expanding and remodeling the business so that she can provide exclusive service. This new loan will be used to buy dishes, a meat grill, a quintal of rice, sugar, potatoes, and a container of cooking oil. Elizabeth will buy in bulk so that she can receive a lower price for the supplies she needs to prepare the dishes she offers.
She is a proactive woman who looks to surge ahead. Her next goal after finishing her studies is to open a beauty salon as an additional source of income. Elizabeth hopes to achieve the living conditions that are necessary for raising her daughter and developing her physical and mental health.
