Rosa Dalinda and her family live in the parish of 24 de Mayo where humble people work growing onions, green beans and tomatoes, breeding chickens and pigs and in commerce in general. Rosa Dalinda sells clothing, shoes and jewellery from catalogues such as Yanbal, Avon and Belcorp (L'bel, Cyzone, Esika) (beauty products, cosmetics, perfume and women's accessories). She goes door to door to sell the products to her customers and she lets them buy on credit and collects weekly payments. In general her customers buy a range of products which she has in a display cabinet at reasonable prices. This loan is to buy lipstick, nail polish, sandals, T-shirts, shorts, perfumes and creams etc.
