“The loan helped me purchasing new equipments. Consequently, I am now able to double my production, to get more orders and to increase my revenue. My husband is also very happy because I can help him paying our bills at the end of the month. This is the first time we have had the great opportunity to save, and it is very gratifying. Thank you LPM.”
