Dalia Galería Castillo

In 2004 Dalia began to sell cosmetics from a catalogue and other products, in order to meet household expenses, as her husband works as a fisherman and during the off-season he can’t earn much money. Dalia and her husband have 5 children between 5 and 11 years old, and as a result the expenses of school, clothing and food are very high, and with the little that her husband and Dalia earn the family has to survive.

For this season Dalia wants to prepare by stocking-up merchandise which her customers have asked for as presents. It is for this that she is asking for a loan of $475, to be repaid in a period of 4 months and with the money Dalia will be able to buy merchandise to offer to her clients. With your help Dalia will be able to move forward with her 5 children, who need her very much in order not to stray off-track in their lives.
