Ana is 32 years old. She graduated from high school and lives with her partner who works in construction. She has three children who depend on her, two of which are studying.
Ana sells toys and artisanal sweets. She learned this job from her mother-in-law and has 5 years of experience. She travels to different places that are having festivals for patron saints (fiestas patronales) to sell her wares.
She will use the loan to buy a greater variety of artisanal sweets to continue her work. She will also buy 2 tables that she needs for her business.
Ana dreams of setting up shop in her town market.
