Delmis Catarina

Delmis studied through secondary school. She is married and her spouse works as a security guard. She has three children, of whom two are currently students, so that they both strive to offer them better opportunities.

Previously, Delmis worked as a municipal employee in her community. Currently, she works making and selling pupusas, an activity she has done for twelve years and learned thanks to a friend. Her business is located at her house, where she serves her customers with a schedule of 4:00 to 8:00 at night.

In addition, she has a store of staple products, which represents another important source of income for her family. Delmis needs the loan to purchase more products such as rice, sugar, beans, bread, eggs, detergent, soap, oil, and other items which she sells in her store, with the objective of better stocking her business and increasing her sales.

Delmis dreams of her children continuing with their education and managing to become professionals so in the future they have more opportunities and a better quality of life. With dedication and effort, she hopes to continue strengthening her enterprises.
