Rocio's Story

Rocio is a single mother who sells fruits and vegetables to offer her son a better life. She will use a loan from World Vision to buy bananas, oranges, apples, tangerines, peaches, tomatoes, chili peppers, potatoes, and radishes. By selling a wider variety of produce, she will increase her profits

Rocio lives in Acatepec, a town whose name means "Hill of Giant Reeds." The region is characterized by its many beautiful pine trees. Rocio's son Martin is two years old. Martin is the greatest inspiration for Rocio, who hopes to save enough money that she will be able to pay for his school expenses when he is older.

Rocio would like to have her own establishment to sell her produce. That way, she would be able to store and sell a larger number of fruits and vegetables, and the business would be able to continue expanding.
