Laura Isabel's story

Laura, age 53, lives in her parents' house in the community of Picuales Bajo. She was working raising pigs for 12 years. As a result of her hard work, she was able to start a small grocery store that permitted her to stop working for third parties and to improve her source of income.

She seeks as new loan to acquire more products for daily use to stock her store. She plans to have the largest store in the area, achieving economic stability to have a good life with her family.
