Arame, 57 years old and the representative of the group, is standing on the left of the photo with the hand raised. She is married and the mother of one girl.

Arame works selling fruits and vegetables. She sells walking along the approaches to the national highway. She buys her products from the wholesalers to resell in retail. She makes use of more than 30 years of good experience in this sector of commerce.

With her loan, she counts on buying crates of melons and oranges and sacks of green beans, which she will resell at a profit. She does well despite competition, because she has a good location for her selling. With the profits, she will increase her savings and participate in the family expenses.
