Alejandrina is from Mexico. She has 1 child. She needs a loan of $475 to buy chili peppers, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, bananas, apples, oranges, tangerines, and grapes.
Alejandrina sells fruits and vegetables to help her husband, Carlos, cover all the household expenses. With a loan from World Vision, she will invest in tomatoes, onions, potatoes, bananas, oranges, tangerines, grapes, and apples.
Because Alejandrina and her husband are hard workers, they have managed to buy the supplies their family most needs and have not suffered any serious troubles. She expects the loan to help her business thrive.
Someday, she would like to own a fruit shop where she can store and sell a larger quantity of fruits and vegetables.
Alejandrina and Carlos have two children, Andrés and Luis Enrique. Alejandrina will use her additional income to pay for her children's education and to save up for their future.
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.
