A mother of one, Anabel is a hardworking and humble woman. These attributes were acquired when she was a young girl as her parents taught her to be fond of working because that was the way to achieve a better quality of life. Anabel is now twenty-three years old and married to Roberto. They have a young daughter together who attends kindergarten.
Four years ago, Anabel decided to sell fruits and vegetables in the wholesale food market because she saw that other people who were engaged in this business got a good income and she wanted to help her husband with their household expenses. She would now like to expand this business but is unable to do so due to financial constraints.
With a loan from World Vision Anabel will be able to invest in her business by buying radishes, coriander, chili, nopal, avocados, guavas, bananas, and melons. This will allow her to increase her sales and generate more income to better provide for her family.
Anabel has many long-term goals. In the future, she would like to have an avocado plot in order to sell large quantities of this fruit in the wholesale food market. She also wants to save up to repair her house and to eventually build her own establishment where she can store and display all her fruits and vegetables while protecting them from the weather.
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.
Crecencio Morales is a mountainous community that is home to an indigenous population of approximately 8,000. Elder members of the population still speak the Mazahua indigenous languages and weave traditional clothing.
Residents of Crecencio Morales live in poverty, depending primarily on agriculture, commerce, and the production of artisan goods for income. Most homes are made of wood and have only two rooms with dirt floors. Families cook their meals on wood stoves, as gas and electricity are limited. Few residents have access to toilets or running water; most use outhouses and fetch water from community wells.
In Crecencio Morales, World Vision is providing families with business training; helping farmers increase agricultural production and incomes; attending to the health needs of malnourished children; increasing access to safe water through the installation of water tanks; and providing tutoring and recreational opportunities.
