A loan helped to buy potatoes wholesale and to pay for transportation.


Tania Maribel's story

Tania, age 22, is a single mother. She has a son, five year old Mateo. She has been selling potatoes in the area for five years. This is her main source of earnings, which has allowed her to pay the expenses for food, medicine, and renting her work place. Her family has benefited from her undertaking her business. because she has spent more time with them.

For this reason she wants to maintain her business. She needs to buy potatoes wholesale, to pay for transportation, and other implements needed for her business.

In the future she wants to have her business be free of debts and to begin saving in order to have her own capital.
