Marilyn Carolina's story

Marilyn Carolina and her family live in Montecristi. It is known for its handicrafts, and is a place of hardworking people who strive to move forward with their families.

Marilyn is a hardworking woman. She and her husband seek a way to make an income to improve the life of their family. Some time ago Marilyn learned to apply acrylic nails. With her knowledge she decided to set up a locale in her house where she works. She also visit her clients if they ask her to.

Marilyn previously had a business making and selling food, but she had to close it because of too many costs that left her with no earnings. For that reason she now works in her new business which she started thanks to these loans. This loan is to buy nail polish, files, acrylic nails, and many other materials and tools she needs.
