Guadalupe sells fruit juices including orange, beet, etc., and she will invest her loan in buying the supplies she needs to make juices and fruit drinks like orange, beet, carrot, plantain, etc. She says that the loan will help to pay the school expenses of her children. Guadalupe would like to see her store expand a little more, and she wants to construct a stall where she could sell her drinks.
