Margarita Altamirano Herrera

With a lot of effort and great sacrifice, Mrs Margarita Altamirano and her husband run a farming business in the municipality of Achuapa. The business is their core source of income that provides for the caring of their three small children, one of which needs more attention due to his young age.

At present, Mrs Margarita Altamirano’s family does not have electric power at their home since they live in a far away locality. However, Mrs Altamirano has acquired a solar panel that will allow her to have enough electricity to use two lamps and a television set. Upon acquiring this debt very responsibly Mrs Altamirano, is seeking the support of Ceprodel so she can obtain a loan to repay the panel. Having this source of electricity will allow the Altamiranos to improve their living conditions at home and so their children have a better environment for their school work.
