Doris is a hardworking woman who lives in the town of Cabanillas. It is located 1840 meters above sea level.
Doris is 42 years old. She has worked in cattle raising and retail for the last fourteen years. Over this time she has managed to build an extensive herd, but she now wants to further consolidate her retail business.
To achieve this objective Doris seeks a micro loan to buy groceries in general. With this loan she will be able to stock the merchandise of her store, and diversify her sale of products. This will not only strengthen her finances but will also boost her sales, as she will offer a greater variety of products to her clientele. In addition, by increasing her income through raising cattle and through the increase in sales at her store, Doris will be able to provide better opportunities to her family and guarantee a more prosperous future.
This micro loan represents an investment in the growth and financial stability of her home. This, in turn, will allow Doris to confront financial challenges with determination, and will endure a better future for her and her loved ones.
