Dora studied through the ninth grade. She is in a relationship with her partner who is a security guard. They have a child who is independent, so Dora and her partner live by themselves.
Dora has a store where she has been selling basic products for the past 11 years. She started this business because she needed to generate income to get ahead. Dora attends to her customers from 6:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. She has no employees to help her. Dora previously was a full-time housewife.
She needs a loan to buy oil, basic grains, beverages, soap, and other products to continue her sales. Dora dreams of having a larger store so that she can generate more income.
