Dúo La Vega Group's story

Marleny Asucena is originally from the town of Santa Apolonia. She is 18 years old, single, and has no children. A year ago, she started a business of selling vegetables at a municipal market in San Jose Poaqui on Wednesdays and Sundays. She also sells at a market in Santa Apolonia on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Marleny Asucena is a hardworking woman who started this business because her parents have limited resources. They also worked in the same type of business. Marleny Asucena is requesting a loan to buy merchandise so that she can offer her customers a wide variety of products. This will result in more profits. Her dreams are to expand her business by offering products to her customers and generate more income to help her parents with making home improvements so that they can live better.
