Guadalupe is 28 years old and in a relationship with her partner who works in agriculture. They have three children, two of whom are independent. The youngest daughter is in school and still lives with them.
Guadalupe sells backpacks and clothes for women, men, and children. She has 14 years of experience and learned this trade from her mother. Guadalupe must walk approximately 10 minutes to arrive at the place where she works. In addition, she cultivates vegetables.
Guadalupe is requesting a loan to buy products such as shirts, skirts, trousers, backpacks, bags, and other items for her business. She dreams of having her own vehicle so that she can improve and expand her sales.
