Berlin has had her grocery store for two years. Sales at her store fell due to the financial instability of her neighbors, who are her customers. This was because of hurricane Otto, which went through her community.
She wants to revitalize her business, so she is asking for a loan of one million, two hundred thousand colones (₡1,200,000) to pay off her current debt and to be able to ask for a new one with better terms, which will allow her to continue pay her current loan. She will use an additional amount to buy merchandise for her grocery store. This will improve her own situation and that of her family.
