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


Alternativo Group's story

Roxana, age 60, is single and has four children. She works selling home goods in a rented store close to a market. She has been in this work for ten years. Her typical day is to arise very early and work in her store, which she opens Monday to Saturday, selling all day.

She used the previous loan to buy merchandise to increase her business. She knew the group because they are friends in the neighborhood. Her goal for the loan is to make her business grow. Her goals for her life and family are to improve and to increase her sales.

Only the board of directors is in the photo because the disbursement was made remotely due to the pandemic.
