A loan helped to buy bread, potatoes, meat, chicken, salt, salsas, condiments, and vegetables, among other things, for her food stall.


Maria Nely's story

Nely is a 55-year-old woman. She is a single mother who had to move her household forward on her own, from when her children were very young.

With her love of cooking Nely started a business selling prepared food. She does this job in the afternoons and evenings, with her daughter, from a stand located on a very well-traveled corner. This is how she makes income to support her humble home.

Nely is seeking a loan to buy bread, potatoes, meat, chicken, salt, salsas, condiments, and vegetables, among other things. This will allow her to continue improving her work and her quality of life, due to better production in her business.
