Dolores Maria and her family live in 24 de Mayo, a place of humble people who are dedicated to short cycle agriculture (onions, green beans, tomatoes), raising fowl and pigs, and business in general. Dolores Maria works selling informally from her home, What'sApp, Internet, and through visiting homes in various areas in the city. She carries her merchandise for her customers to see and purchase, and her customers purchase on credit which she collects weekly. Social distancing left her without work due to various restrictions that impeded her from going out to sell, but currently she is selling with health security protocols in place.
This loan is to purchase jewelry, mosquito nets, sheet sets, etc. Her dream is to have her own store and for her family to have good health.
