A loan helped to purchase sandals, flip-flops, and shoes, and in this way, stock business inventory and meet customers’ demands.


Dinora De La Paz's story

Dinora is married and lives with her young children. Her husband lives outside the country. She is the owner of a shoe store, a business she started as a preventive measure to enable her to generate income to satisfy her family’s needs. Her business is located in her community’s town market, and she works from 5:00 in the morning until 3:00 in the afternoon.

With the loan she has requested, she will have funds available to purchase sandals, flip-flops, and shoes. In this way, she will stock her business inventory and meet her customers’ demands. She plans to increase sales to generate new income to move forward with her family.

She dreams of continuing to work in order to grow her business.
