A loan helped to buy more fruits and vegetables such as avocados, zapotes, güisquiles, and pipianes among others to supply her fruit and vegetable business.


Elizabeth Del Carmen's story

Elizabeth, age 32, attended school through 9th grade. She is married. She has one child who depends on her. She lives with her husband and child.

Elizabeth works selling fruits and vegetables and she learned it on her own. She travels about 2 kilometers from her house to the point where she sells. She sells in the community where she lives, and she works from 7:00am to 4:00pm. Her husband helps her with her business.

Elizabeth needs the loan to buy more fruits and vegetables such as avocados, zapotes [typical tropical fruit], güisquiles and pipianes [typical squashes], among others to stock her fruit and vegetable business.

Elizabeth dreams of expanding her business and to give the best to her family.
