A loan helped to purchase wood, nails and glue.


Maria Rosa's story

María is a 64 year old elderly woman who lives with her husband and one son. Her home is located in the Crusilli district. Her husband is a carpenter and works with his son making tables, chairs and doors. These products are sold in everyday commerce. They also make other types of furniture for the home to order.

María has been helping with this work for 15 years. She is applying for this loan to purchase wood, nails and glue. This will help her manufacture more furniture to reach other markets in other areas.

María would like her children to have stability and to have good health so that she can share more time with her family.
