A loan helped to purchase more merchandise such as shirts, pants, leggings, sandals and underwear in new styles to stock her business selling clothing.


Edis Marlen's story

Edis is a 33-year-old single mom who lives with her mother, her son and two nephews in the municipality of Morazán, Yoro.

Edis has spent 11 years selling new and used clothing such as shirts, pants, men's and women's underwear, blouses and other items. She makes the sales of her business by orders and by traveling around the sector and in neighboring communities.

She requests a loan in ODEF for 18,000 Lempiras for the purchase of more merchandise such as shirts, pants, leggings, sandals and underwear to supply her business with new clothing styles. His goal is to strengthen her business, keep it stocked and attract more customers to receive income that will help improve the quality of life of her family.
