A loan helped cement, paint and cinder blocks.


Yenis Lorenis's story

Yenis, 42, began selling food about 15 years ago to her neighbors and acquaintances. The customers that she had at the beginning were very satisfied so she continued her business selling food.

Living in a semi-urban area, she has kept up her business selling food. She works from 9:00am, when she starts to cook, until 4:00pm every day. Years ago, her health became a challenge, but she continued working in order to take care of her son, since she is a single mother.

She has many aspirations for her business and for that reason would like to improve her home, since that is where she makes the food and serves her customers. She would like to use the loan to buy cement, cinder blocks and paint. In the future, she would like to improve the construction of her house and the space where she serves her customers.
