A loan helped a member to buy various vegetables and basic grains.


Los Negociantes Group's story

Maria del Carmen, 50, lives with her life partner and three children, all grown-up and financially independent. She does not have family abroad.

She makes a living selling vegetables and basic products in the local market everyday from 6 am until 5 pm. This business allows her to generate resources to help support the household.

In order to stock-up her business, she is requesting a loan to buy various vegetables and basic grains. With this investment she will have inventory to increase sales and improve her life.

Maria, together with Jose and Andres, form the group “LOS NEGOCIANTES”. They are responsible and enterprising people who have the same target of getting ahead.

In this group: Maria Del Carmen, Jose Saul, Andres
