A loan helped to purchase basic grains to sell in her store and, in addition, to purchase materials to improve the pig pen.


Dora Marta's story

Dora is 52 years old, partnered, and her partner is a farmer and a driver. Her children no longer depend on her. Two of her grandchildren live in her house.

Dora has had a store of staple products for 10 years and undertook this work at her own initiative. The business is located at her house and she tends it from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. In addition, she raises pigs and chickens to later sell them.

She needs the loan to purchase basic grains to sell in her store and, in addition, to purchase materials to improve the pig pen.

Dora wants to continue investing in her businesses and to improve her income
