Olga is 33 years old. She is a single mother and has one son. She lives with her son and her sister in the town of La Ceiba, Atlántida.
She has had a grocery store for 3 years where she sells staple goods such as rice, flour, salt, beans, sugar, eggs, churros, cleaning products, bread, juices, dairy products and meats. This business is the principal source of income for her family.
With the goal of stocking her store, she is seeking another loan from ODEF in the amount of 21,000.00 lempiras to buy staple grains, drinks, meats, dairy products, eggs, juices, churros, bread, and other groceries, in order to increase her clientele. Her plan is to expand her locale and earn more income.
