Purificación A. has been a merchant for two years; her main product is new clothing. She sells door-to-door and from home.
Purificación goes out to the various neighborhoods and villages surrounding Teupasenti, where she hardly has any competition; she goes to areas where it is rare that other merchants visit.
She sells a wide variety of articles of clothing like: jeans for men and women, blouses, shirts, rubber sandals, towels, underwear for both men and women, blankets, etc.
She needs funding to buy more merchandise so that she can sell more in the areas she visits.
The profits are needed to support her family, who are the most important thing in her life.
