Maria Santos

María is single and lives with her young daughter who is financially dependent. She has no relatives who live abroad. María has a business selling vegetables, which allows her to earn income to support her family. She learned this trade through training seminars that were offered in her community. María works Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. She has no employees.

María is requesting a loan so that she can have the financial resources to strengthen her business. The borrowed funds will be used to buy chayote squash, zucchini, tomatoes, and other types of vegetables to meet the demands of her customers. She hopes that her sales and profits will increase. This will give her the opportunity to provide her family with a better quality of life.

Her aspiration is to achieve financial stability so that she can make improvements to her home.
