Mercedes has a small snack shop in the zone of Pampahasi where she sells rellenos, a type of empenada made from potato, yuca or plantains, with a filling of meat, onions and condiments. She has a lot of customers who come for her delicious rellenos. She lives in her own house. She doesn't have children, but she dedicates a lot of time to her nieces and nephews, as well as her elderly father. The requested loan will be used to purchase ingredients needed to make her rellenos, as well as to purchase cement to construct another floor in her home so that she can rent out space. Mercedes is a punctual client of the communal bank.
