A loan helped to buy groceries, bags of milk, cleaning products, and paper goods, among other things.


Martha Cecilia's story

Cecilia is 56 years old. She lives with her family in a small house loaned to her.

She started a small store in her home over ten years ago. It is has been her big life project, which provided for her children when they were young, so that they lacked nothing.

Cecilia no longer has children to support, but continues developing her business. She is so established in the area where she lives that her customers are asking that she further expand her inventory, so they can get everything they need in one place.

Cecilia wants to expand her store with new products that her customers seek. For that reason she seeks a new loan to buy groceries, bags of milk, cleaning products, and paper goods, among other things. This will expand her variety of products so that her customers can fill their needs.
