A loan helped to buy a larger variety of bread to sell.


Maria Rosa's story

María is 69 years old. She did not have the opportunity to attend school. She is single and lives with a daughter and two grandchildren.

For 20 years she has sold bread, and job she learned from a friend of hers. She sells from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. She currently makes part of the bread she sells.

María needs a loan to buy a larger variety of bread to sell. She has received four prior loans which she has paid off responsibly. Her dream is to make improvements to her house, and to have a full bakery.

This loan is special because:

It helps people older than 60 who still have the capacity to work but no financing.
