A loan helped to buy the stock required to restock her store.


Ada Luisa's story

Ada Luisa is applying for another loan. She is 64, married and lives with her husband who is her main priority.

She is applying for a loan to buy the stock required to restock her small store which for the last 15 years has served the needs of her customers.

She hopes the loan will help to improve her financial situation and provide her family with a better quality of life. She also wants to continue developing as a person and as a micro-entrepreneur.

This is Ada’s third loan from FUDECOSUR. She has never borrowed from a state bank, but FUDECOSUR provides loans with better terms and much lower interest rates.

This loan is special because:

It reaches rural borrowers that are considered too risky for traditional banks.
