Blanca lives in the city of Choluteca with her mother and siblings, who also help her with the business. She has a grocery store and sells refreshments, churros (fried dough with sugar), rice, beans, bread and sugar among other things. She works hard and has had the business for 3 years. It’s at a location that is easily accessed by clients as there is much pedestrian traffic and that ensures her sales are good. She likes to open her store very early in the morning. She’s requesting a loan for L. 20,000.00 to buy products for her store.
