Adding to basket
Ester is applying for a loan because, in this way, she will get more financial resources to capitalize her business. She will purchase underwear, shirts, skirts, blouses, and other clothing, and in this way she will be able to meet her customers' demand and generate the income for her family's subsistence.
Thanks to the previous loan, she managed to strengthen her businesses, with which her sales and earnings increased. With time, Ester closed her business selling vegetables. This was due to the rising purchase cost, for which her earnings dropped. She is only working selling clothing. She does not mention changes in the structure of her family group.
