Lorenza Benítez is 60 and has been married to Porfirio Benítez, an electrician, for 42 years. They have 3 children, all who are grown and independent professionals.



Lorenza has had a grocery store for 12 years, which she started by selling food to some of the construction workers who worked on a project in front of her house. This activity caused a surge in orders from neighboring vendors who sold basic ingredients. This is how she started her small business.



With the profits generated from her business, she built a salon. Today, apart from her grocery store, she also has a hamburger eatery.



She seeks a loan which will be used to buy products for her store: sugar, meat, milk, noodles, flour, etc.

Lorenza tiene una despensa con una antigüedad de 12 años, la cual inició con la venta de comidas a unos obreros que trabajaban en una construcción frente a su casa; de esta actividad surgieron pedidos de los vecinos de la venta de algunos productos de primera necesidad. Así fue como empezó su microempresa.



Con las ganancias que genero la despensa, ella construyo un salón en donde hoy día, además de su despensa, también tiene un hamburguesería.



Solicita el crédito para la compra de mercaderías para su despensa tales como: azúcar, carne, leche, fideos, harina, etc.
