Lilian Beatriz and her family live in the Santa Anta canton. People here work in agriculture growing corn and rice, in livestock farming and in gastronomy with a variety of typical dishes.
Lilian Beatriz sells a wide variety of products including rice by the quintal, a variety of clothing by catalogue, cosmetics, and shoes. She visits her customers and they choose what they need. She sells on credit and collects payment weekly. She also sells cheese by the pound with her husband. They buy from nearby farms where suppliers always sell them fresh products, and they deliver orders to customers twice a week. Their customers also visit them at home to purchase goods.
This loan will be used to buy cheeses, a variety of clothing, and sport and casual shoes.
