Guadalupe Monserrate

Guadalupe Monserrate is a great, hardworking woman. In her house she has a small store where her and her husband sell barbasco [a type of plant] by the bag. It's a product from a tree which is micro-pulverized into a light brown powder to control fish in shrimp pools.

They purchase it from farmers and sell it by the quintal to shrimp farmers. They work Monday to Saturday.

She is grateful to each person who supports them with this loan so they can continue helping their family.

This loan is to purchase barbasco [a type of plant] by the quintal and pay for transportation.
