Adding to basket
From Jinotepe, Nicaragua, meet the Monte de los Olivos [Mount of Olives] communal bank which is in its 12th cycle. It is made up of eight customers who stand out as hard-working. The businesses that predominate are grocery store, fruit sales, clothing sales, and food sales.
Mayra Lorena, seated, wearing a print shirt and a cream skirt, is single. She has nine children, all of whom are adults (five women and four men). Three people live at her house.
Mayra Lorena's business is a grocery store. She has had it for 20 years. What she likes about her business is waiting on her customers. The challenges she has had with her business are weak sales.
Mayra Lorena will use this loan to purchase one quintal of rice, one quintal of sugar, one quintal of beans, one box of laundry soap and one large pack of toilet paper. The loan will help her stock her business. Her dreams and hopes for the future are to have a well-stocked grocery store.
Mayra Lorena advises women to keep going and to manage their loans well in order to grow their businesses.
You can be a part of their progress!
