Is it permissible for a girl to take out a bank loan to establish a project from which her family, consisting of parents and a minor brother and sister, can earn a livelihood, given that the father does not provide for them under the pretext of illness, and knowing that her salary is insufficient and that the father is able to work but relies on her?

It is not permissible to take an interest-based loan from a bank except in a pressing necessity, and there is no necessity here given your income and your father's ability to earn. You can deal with the bank in a permissible way by having them purchase something for you that you then sell, provided they do not stipulate a late payment penalty.
