A loan helped buy rice, sugar, coffee, candy, eggs, soap etc. for her store.


Sandra Del Carmen's story

Sandra is 50 years old and graduated from high school. She didn't continue her education but got married instead. Her husband is a teacher and they have four children, two of whom work and the two younger ones attend school.

Sandra has run a store for over ten years, a decision she made in order to generate a little more money for the household. Her children help her in the store when they are not in school. The store is open from 5:30 am to 6:30 pm. She has a great need for this loan in order to buy rice, sugar, coffee, candy, eggs, soap etc. as stock for the store. Her dream is to continue supporting her children with their education so they can do well in the workplace.
