Irma Julissa

Irma Julissa, 53 years old, is single and lives with her three children in Puerto Cortés, Cortés. For 8 years, she has worked selling merchandise, which she does as a street venter, after having previously worked as a homemaker.

She asks for a loan for 19,000 lempiras to invest in the purchase of jeans, shorts, blouses, t-shirts, shampoo, pasta, and other products, which will allow her to increase her sales and attract more customers. Her goal is to establish her own retail space, to guarantee her children a good education, and to offer them a better quality of life.
