Argentina sells natural juices and pica pollo (fried chicken). She is 42 years old and has four children. Her daughters are aged 15, 14 and 12; her only son is 19. Argentina’s husband is a professor in a college.



Argentina used to run the same business in the past. She had to close it because of illness. Fortunately, she was able to start her business up again recently when she took a loan from FSMA to invest in materials needed for the preparation of the food. After a period of hard work and some advertizing, she was able to get back a large part of her old clientele.



The entrepreneur explains that the probationary period of the business has been successful and she thinks she can invest more money to make it grow. She is requesting funds to rent a small locale where she can operate the business so that she can attend to her customers ‘more decently’, as she put it. She also hopes that in future her little business can turn into a big cafeteria which would be well known and considered one of the best in her community.



Argentina says as long as she lives, she will do her best for the sake of her family.
