Yariela Alexandra

Yariela is a merchant who works tending her convenience store, an activity which she has developed for the last six years and which represents the primary source of income for her family. With effort and dedication, she works to keep her business active, seeing to pay for the household necessities and support her child's education, who is in secondary school. However, she faces difficulties in stocking her business, which limits her capacity to meet her customers' demand.

With the purpose of strengthening her convenience store, Yariela asked for a loan which she will use to purchase candies, sweets, beverages, basic grains, and canned food. With this investment, she expects to stock her business properly, expand the variety of products, and attract more customers, which will allow her to increase her income. Yariela trusts that this financing will help her improve her family's financial stability and advance in her growth goals, including expanding her business to be a variety store.
