Eva is 30 years old. She is married to Angel Benitez, 32, who has worked as a driver for more than 20 years and helps pay for household expenses. They have one son, still a child, who lives with them.


She launched the business three years ago on her own initiative after realizing that there was no general store in the neighborhood. This helps explain why her sales have been so good and why she already has a loyal customer base.


Eva needs the loan to buy general merchandise like sugar, flour, yerba mate, rice, pasta, and bread.

Eva tiene 30 años de edad está casada con Ángel Benítez, de 32 años, quien trabaja como chofer hace más de veinte años, aportando para los gastos del hogar. Tienen un hijo, menor de edad que vive con ellos.


Inició el negocio hace tres años por iniciativa propia, percatándose de que no había una despensa en el barrio, lo cual ayuda a que las ventas sean muy buenas y ya cuenta con clientela formada.


Necesita el crédito para la compra de mercaderías en general como azúcar, harina, yerba, arroz, fideos, panificados y otros.
