Josefina del Carmen is 50 years old, married, and has one child. She and her family live in the town of San Pedro Sula, which is in the Department of Cortes. For the past 15 years, she has been selling fruits and vegetables from her home. She was previously employed at a private company.
Josefina del Carmen is requesting a loan from ODEF in the amount of 20,000 HNL. She will buy seasonal fruits and vegetables such as watermelons, ripe bananas, plantains, and apples. This loan will improve her sales since she will have more inventory to satisfy her customers. Her goal is to provide for her child’s education.
