Maria Gabriela

Maria Gabriela is 35 years old. She is married and has two children aged 4 and 16 months and is in her seventh month of pregnancy with her third child.

She lives in Santa Ana, known for its beautiful freshwater spas, varied cuisine and kind people, who are always hospitable to tourists who arrive all year round.

Maria is a hardworking woman who, together with her husband, looks for ways of making an honest living. She has been able to do this through the support of the loans, for which she is very grateful.

Maria and her husband have a metal shop where they make doors, windows, metal structures and other pieces of work. They work to their customers' specifications, who recognise how good their work is.

Maria helps her husband however she can. At the moment, due to the pregnancy, she is just taking care of ordering materials and order processing.

This loan is to buy iron, solder, paint and other materials to produce their work.
