Rosario, age 52, is married and has two children, ages 17 and 12, who attend school. She lives in the San Roque de Guano neighborhood. Her husband is a public employee. For her part, she works making aprons and covers for blenders, microwaves, and gas tanks.
Rosario has worked in sewing for 20 years. She has established customers, and also goes out to sell in markets in the area. She needs the support of this loan to buy fabric, thread, elastic, and lace. These materials will help her to fill all the orders she has, and to be able to generate greater income. She plans to reinvest the profits in the roof of a shed where she plans to raise chickens, to have another source of income to improve the family's economy.
Rosario is motivated by the desire to see her children become professionals.
