Lourdes Esperanza

Lourdes Esperanza is 58 years old, married, and lives with her family in the municipality of Tela, Department of Atlántida. She has been selling clothes on the street for 2 years. She has always been a merchant. Currently, she is requesting a loan from ODEF via Kiva for the amount of 35,000 Lempiras, which she plans to invest in the purchase of creams, perfumes and clothing for ladies, men, and children, such as pants, dresses, shoes and shirts. She is grateful for the financial support and believes that the loan will help her increase her inventory and sales, and with the profits she will provide a better quality of life for her family.
