Maria Milagro's story
María is requesting another loan because she needs financial support to strengthen her business. She will buy underwear, blouses, dresses, and other clothing items which will help meet her customers' needs during the holiday season.
Maria used the previous loan to support her food business which allowed her to keep her customers' satisfied and thus increased her profits. After some time her sales declined which led her to make the decision to close the business 4 months ago.
Maria states that in addition to selling food, she's also sold clothing once or twice per week for 20 years which has now become her main economic activity. She serves her customers as a street vendor. She doesn't have employees and she learned the business through experience. Maria has not mentioned any changes to her family structure.
