Aurelia is married to Angel and together they have three children who are all married. Aurelia has been baking bread for almost forty years. She began this activity to help her husband with their household expenses and to improve their living conditions. Thanks to her business, her efforts, and her husband's support, she has never had to face any serious difficulties.
Aurelia dreams of expanding her business but she lacks the financial capital to do so. With a loan from World Vision she will be able to buy more ingredients for baking, including eggs, flour, sugar, lard and yeast. With the additional profits, she plans to continue reinvesting in her business so that one day, she will be able to have her own establishment for her bakery and increase her customer base.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.
