Yamile's story

Yamile is a very enterprising person with a great desire to get ahead and progress. She lives with her partner and has two children.

For several years, she has been working independently in her retail trade business selling pharmaceutical-medical products in the municipality of San Luis.

Yamile is requesting a loan to get working capital, especially medicines and painkillers, which are the ones that normally have the highest turnover. She wants to make the purchase before the season because they go up in price.

In this way, Yamile will overcome difficulties such as competition in the sector, and will be able to improve her sales and income, in order to continue to meet her needs and those of her family.
