Marie Annise is 61 years old, widowed and no children. She can neither read nor write. She has been in business since she was a child. Her business focuses on selling beans, corn and peanuts. Her life has been fairly difficult with no support of a husband or children so this loan will enable her to rise above her prior standard of living. With this loan Marie Annise will now be able to buy much more product at better prices which should result in a higher level of profits. She is very much looking forward to the loan as this will enable her to begin to place money into savings which she will need to access in few very short years.
