Karen Yamileth's story

Karen Yamileth, age 43, is married and has two children. She lives with her family in the municipality of Roatán, department [state] of Islas de la Bahía.

Six years ago, she decided to start her own grocery store and to sell dairy products, basic grains, meats, breads, cereals, eggs, etc. She sells in her own site.

She is requesting a loan from ODEF for 25,000 Lempiras to stock her business. This investment will help her to be able to meet customer demand and to offer them more product variety. Her goal is to make her business grow, to give her children better economic stability.
