Rut is 37 years old and lives with her husband with whom she has four children. Two of her children are adults and contribute to the household financially. They also have a five year old boy and a twelve year old girl. Rut is an entrepreneurial woman with a great mind for business. She has a small operation selling tamales which she distributes in the neighboring towns. She also purchases cosmetics and clothing in bulk to sell. Her husband also helps her with the household finances through his job as a driver.
She wishes to finish building her home because there is one room that is still unfinished and the walls need to be plastered and refined. She also wants to cement part of the house and she needs to install electricity. For this she is seeking a loan from FUSAI to purchase cement, gravel, bricks, sand and to pay for labor to finish the construction and to install electricity.
