Carmen Betty needs the loans in order to continue with her sales of a great variety of grains (lentils, beans, and rice, among others) and clothing for women, men, and children. She sells them through various sectors of the city where she has customers. She leaves [merchandise] with them on credit and collects every week. She offers merchandise through Whatsapp and social networks. She makes home deliveries of orders. She is very grateful for the help that the people with good hearts give her, and she hopes that they will continue helping her.
This loan is to buy quintals [one hundred pound units] of rice, lentils, beans, corn, and peas and t-shirts, pants, jeans, and pajamas.
