Mercedes Del Carmen Medina

Mercedes Medina devotes herself to being a homemaker for her two children and her husband. He has worked in agriculture since he was very young, and he is currently in the city of León, municipality of Sauce.

It's important to note that since she lives in this rural area, she does not have electricity. Since having electricity is very useful, she decided to get a solar panel on credit so that she could have access to two lamps and a television. On taking on this debt, Mercedes turned to Ceprodel to gain credit that would cancel this debt. The credit will make sure her children are able to take advantage of this energy for their studies at night after their chores are done.
