Juana, age 31, attended school up to seventh grade. She is the single mother of two children who attend school.
Juana works selling staple goods. She has many years' experience in this work, which she learned from her parents. The store is located in her house, and hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
She will use the loan to buy more products such as basic grains, detergents, beverages, dairy products, sausages, and personal hygiene items, to diversify her merchandise.
Juana dreams of continuing to work in her store and improving her profits, to give her children a good education so that they can become professionals.
