Digna Aracely's story

Digna is married and has three minor children. She cares for her family and also runs her business, a store selling staple goods, and sells "pupusas" [stuffed tortillas]. She learned these skills thanks to her mother. Digna has had her businesses for four years. She works from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Her advantage for selling her merchandise easily is that she is very well-known in the area, for the quality of the products that she sells.

She is requesting a loan because she wishes to expand the inventory of her store. With the borrowed funds, she will buy basic grains, beverages, cooking oil, detergents, and other products to sell to her customers. Thus she will have a more diversified inventory and will be able to attract new customers.

Her objectives are to make her business grow, both in inventory and in area, to have a better economic situation for the well-being of her family.
