Mrs. Obdulia is 40 years old. She is married and has a daughter aged 23. Her husband, Mr. Eleuterio Valiente, is employed in a business working leather which makes for a big part of their family's income.


Mrs. Obdulia started her own Kiosk 18 years ago. It's located in the entrance of the city of Carpeguá. Thanks to her small business and the credits she obtained, she was able to keep progressing and with her earnings she manages to pay for the studies of her only daughter -who is her greatest hope. She is hoping she can finish her studies and have a worthy profession which improves her quality of life.


Her tenacious spirit and her wishes to accomplish her goals, have been the motivation to start her workdays at 4 am, when she goes up to the municipal market which is 40 minutes away from her home to buy the products she later sells. Her neighbours admire her for her sacrifice and her clients are very content with since her products are good and the service she gives them is the best.


Because the home where they live is precarious, Obdulia needs to make a few repairs since the roof and the floor are in deplorable state and urgent repair is necessary. In order to fix them Obdulia is requesting a credit of $1000.

La señora Obdulia tiene 40 años, es casada y tiene 1 hija de 23 años. Su marido, el Sr. Eleuterio Valiente, es empleado de una empresa de curtidora de cuero quien le ayuda en gran parte con los ingresos familiares.
La señora empezó su Kiosco hace 18 años atrás, tiene su puesto en la entrada misma de la ciudad de Carapeguá; gracias a su pequeño negocio y los créditos que obtuvo, ella pudo ir progresando y con sus ganancias logra pagar los estudios de su única hija, quien es su mayor esperanza, desea que esta pueda culminar sus estudios y tener una profesión digna que mejore su calidad de vida.
Su espíritu luchador y deseos de cumplir sus metas, son sus motivos para empezar la jornada a las 4 am, cuando va al hasta el mercado municipal que queda a 40 minutos de su casa a adquirir los productos que luego los lleva a su local para venderlos; los vecinos la admiran pues es muy sacrificada y sus clientes quedan muy conformes pues sus productos son buenos y la atención que ella les brinda es la mejor.
Como la casa en la que viven es muy precaria, Obdulia necesita hacer unas refacciones a la casa pues el techo y el piso están en estados deplorables y es necesaria una urgente refacción; para ellos Obdulia solicita el crédito de $ 1000 que lo invertirá en las mejoras de su casa.
