Maritza Marilu's story

Maritza Marilu and her family live in 24 de Mayo, a place of hardworking people, the great majority of whom work at the tasks of the fields and sell their products.

She is a hardworking young woman who seeks the way to earn her resources and, with them, in addition to paying her school expenses, to also help her parents with the household expenses. She has a retail space at her house. There, each afternoon and evening she works making hamburgers, French fries, sandwiches, fruit smoothies, and other foods which are to the liking of her customers who come to eat these delicacies which she makes with love.

So, she manages to continue on and this is thanks to the help of the loans and, for this, she is very grateful. This loan is to purchase bread, sausages, tomatoes, onions, and other groceries to make the food.
