Agustina Quisquina Mendoza, 51 years old, applied for Microcredit Plus through Friendship Bridge three years ago.  A weaver by trade, she used her loan to buy yarn and a more functional loom.  This small but crucial investment allowed her to produce more textiles, build a base of customers and earn more for her family.  She is now in her third loan cycle with Friendship Bridge and recently attended an Advanced Education course.  Learn about Agustina’s experience in Advanced Education in the 2013 Newsletter.
