Amarilis Del Establo Group

Olga Lidia Vargas Toledo, who appears seated in the photograph, is 26 years old, a single mother of three small children that are her reason for being and her incentive to work hard and get them ahead.
She makes a living selling grilled skewered meat at one of the main avenues, from 3 in the afternoon to 11 at night.
Mrs. Olga has worked in this business since she was a child, helping her father. She is now in charge, since her father is now older, and she needs to have income to be able to support her children.
Mrs. Olga tells us that she has always been very hard working. She likes to make money through hard work and be independent. Thanks to her efforts she has been able to buy some items for her home, provide an education for her small children and support her home by herself.
Her current goal is to have her own place of business where she can offer her food and attend to her customers in comfort. Most of all she would like for her children not to have to be on the street while she is working, because in order to be able to work, she needs to take them with her and watch them as she works.
The requested loan will be invested in supplies for the preparation of the meat skewers (anticuchos).
