A loan helped a member to buy merchandise to increase her business.


Betty Barrientos Group's story

Bertha, 29, is single and has no children. She works selling candies at a school. She has done this activity for six years since her mother started working as a janitor in the school. Her typical day starts early, selling from the start, and on the weekends she purchases the products.

Bertha's previous loan helped her improve her quality of life because she purchased furniture for her business. She will use this loan to purchase merchandise to increase her business.

Bertha met the other group members because they are family and childhood friends. Her goal for this loan is to improve her business with more merchandise. Her goals regarding her life and her family are to have a business and for the family to live well.
