Diana Gabriela's story

24-year-old Diana Gabriela is a single mother with a son. She lives with her mother and son in the municipality of San Marcos, Santa Barbara. She has earned her living selling basics from her grocery store in her home for a year. In the past she used to be a housewife.

Diana Gabriela is seeking a loan through ODEF for the amount of 15,000 Lempiras which she plans to use to purchase rice, maize, dairy products, butter, bread, cheese, cold meats, chicken, soft drinks and other basic groceries. She believes that the loan will help to increase income and she and her family will have greater financial stability.
