Alexandra Paola's story

Alexandra is a person who was formed her life at the cost of sacrifices and effort. She has one child and lives in the municipality of Turbo.

Due to her financial obligations and with the end of offering her family a better quality of life, she decided to start a business selling food retail some years ago.

Currently, Alexandra is asking for a loan to purchase some materials such as shelving, bricks, cement, and bars for divisions and fixing up of the space within her business and paying for painting services.

She hopes with this investment to be able to improve her business's conditions to be able to continue offering good service, increase her sales, and have a better standard of living.
