Johana lives with her partner and one-year-old child. She does have relatives who live abroad. Johana has had a business selling cashews for four years. She serves the public from Monday to Saturday with a schedule of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. She learned the trade with her mother's support.
Johana is asking for a loan because, through this, she will get the financial resources to strengthen her business in the Christmas season. She will purchase cashews wholesale to later resell them, with which she expects her sales and earnings to grow, as her purchasing cost will reduce.
Her aspirations are to grow her business and to have better financial conditions to offer her family a better future.
