Julia Maria's story

40-year-old Julia Maria is married and has 3 children. She lives with her family in the municipality of Comayagua. She was previously a homemaker. 10 years ago Julia Maria decided to start a business offering embroidery services, clothing repairs, and sewing. She runs her business from a room in her home. Julia Maria is seeking a loan with ODEF for 35,000 Honduran Lempiras because she wants to have a variety of fabrics to increase her sales. She will invest in buying fabrics, zippers, threads, and other supplies for her business. She hopes to have more clients as a result. Her goal is for her business to grow.
