Aura Del Carmen's story

Twenty-one years ago, Aura del Carmen was pregnant with her last son, who is 8 years old. Motivated by this, she began working harder selling food from her home, in order to save and start with a larger business, despite only having finished primary school. Now 60, she is in her second decade from starting her convenience store, with her husband and the moral support and economic support of her children.

Aura's hopes have always been and will continue to be personal professional growth, for which she plans to continue working hard to carry on with her business. For this reason, she needs a loan to purchase more merchandise: juices, pastries, corn flour, soft drinks, and eggs among other products to increase her products and offer her customers better service. Among her principal plans are to continue, alongside her family, this prosperous business. Equally, she wants to save in order to have a stable future.
