Sra. Antonia is 43 years old and a merchant who has a vending post at the Wholesale Market in the capital of Managua. For several years she has been managing her business of selling caps, belts, handbags, nautical rope, mobile phone cases, batteries, and a variety of other products. Her husband provides security services. They have a daughter who attends high school and is left to look after the house.
Antonia started her sales with a little bit of her own money and later utilized money from a financial institution. Her difficulty has been when sales were low as a result of not being able to invest in more products to achieve better results. She will buy a wider variety of caps for adults and children, handbags, bathing suits, and towels to take advantage of the summer season. Her plans include making improvements to her home.
