Maria Felipa's story

María is 30 years old. She studied until the end of high school. She is in a common law relationship and lives with her mother.
María has worked providing cosmetics services for two years and she learned this work through a course that she attended.
She works out of her home from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
She needs the loan to buy nail polish, hair dye, a straightener, a hairdryer, and a chair suitable for providing cosmetics services.
María dreams of having a business that is larger and equipped to better serve her customers.
