Ramona Del Rosario Tellez García

Doña Ramona del Rosario buys fruits from farmers and sells them in the morning at the Central Market of León. She has 20 years of experience in this business, beginning with an investment of $286 that she used to buy a large aluminum container and wooden table to sell her products outside the market. When the market was renovated, she succeeded in using her first credit to obtain a stall. Little by little her business has grown, and she wishes to improve its facilities.

Before she had this business, she helped her grandmother sell food, fruit and meals in the street. She also washed the clothing of wealthier people.

She told us that she is surprised by the growth that she has experienced. Through her business, he has successfully helped her children to get ahead, and she cares for two grandchildren who want for nothing and are well fed. She feels proud to be a successful businesswoman who knows how to manage her money, her earnings, and her credit. In the last three years, she has received nineteen credits, and without these, she could not have experienced the growth in sales brought by the increase in income and her investments.
