A loan helped to buy and sell food products.


Marta's story

Marta is 45 years old, single, and a retailer. She has four children, of whom two are grown and two are in primary and secondary schools. She lives in a house she owns and doesn't play any role in the community. With the loan she intends to buy a variety of products for resale such as flour, oil, sugar, crackers, soft drinks, etc. This is her second loan; she invested the previous loan in the same business. She dreams of growing more in her business.
