Maria Del Rocio

This is Rocio, a hard-working woman who sells caramels and other candies from a cart outside of the schools in the sector. In the Christmas season, she  makes Christmas bags to sell, and thus she obtains more income with which she can cover the needs of her son and of the household where they live.

Rocio is seeking a small injection of capital to buy more merchandise and thus stock her candy stand. In this way, she hopes to keep changing her lifestyle and that of her family.
