Lorena’ s married living with her 18-year-old daughter and her aunt. She works independently in her clothing business and selling pupusas [filled, grilled corn cakes], an activity she learned from her family. She manages everything with ease and tending to it isn’t complicated because she has ten years’ experience already.
She will invest in the purchase of clothes for both genders (assorted styles, sizes and colors). With the new merchandise she’ll have the necessary inventory to work and increase income to repay the loan and improve family conditions.
Her dream is to be able to buy a house of her own and to support her daughter so she can attend university and become a professional.
