A loan helped to pay for medicine, vitamins, supplements, painkillers, etc. to supply a business.


Santos Virginia's story

Santos, who studied up to the ninth grade in school, is married and her husband is a farmer. Her children no longer depend on her.

Santos works in agriculture. She has been growing corn and beans for 36 years, which she learned from her father. The plot is close to her house and she works from 6:00 to 11:00 am. She has now reopened her business selling western medicine.

She will use the loan to purchase medicine, vitamins, supplements, painkillers, etc. to supply her business and continue selling.

She dreams of providing her family with the best food from her crops. She wants to make a good profit in the corn and bean trade and be able to afford to repay the loan.
