A loan helped to buy wool.


Marcia Ilia's story

Marcia is a hard-working woman who in the mornings works at making wool bags. At noon she works as a domestic employee cleaning a house and in the evenings she sells fried chicken wings, chorizo (sausage) and other fast foods.

Marcia is separated from her husband and she takes care of three children. The 14 year old goes to Middle school, the 10 year old to primary school and the youngest, 3 years old does not yet go to school. Marcia is 36 years old.

The loan will be invested in buying wool to knit and then she will sell the bags that she makes with a lot of love. Marcia hopes to improve her business and continue to work hard to bring up her 3 children.
