Leonor De Rosario

Leonor is thirty-six years old, and she and her husband have four children, three of them boys, that go to the public school in their community. Three years ago, Leonor started a small business, selling beauty products and women’s clothing and sneakers. In the morning, after preparing meals for the children, Leonor goes down to the streets to sell her goods. In the afternoon, people visit her home to purchase garments. Currently, that activity is the principal source of income of the family.

The entrepreneur hopes that her business can keep growing and that she can get more clients. With her loan, she will buy clothing in bulk outside her community, in a frontier city with Haiti, where garments can be obtained at low prices. That way, Leonor can increase her income and profits.
