Maria Paula is from Mexico. She has 1 child. She needs a loan of $400 to buy sodas, milk, cookies, cooking oil, rice, beans, soap, and toilet paper.
Maria Paula owns a small grocery store, and she will use a loan from World Vision to enlarge her stock with more sodas, milk, cooking oil, rice, beans, soap, and toilet paper. This will enable her to keep increasing her profits and improving her business.
The grocery store is very important for her community because it provides her neighbors with basic food supplies without making them travel to buy what they need. Maria Paula hopes to buy a building for her store so that she can display her products in a shop window and reach more customers.
Maria Paula is married and she has two children, Adriana and Eduardo. She hopes that her business will continue expanding so that she can improve her family's quality of life and pay for her children's education.
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.
The small community of Rio Santa Catarina, which derives its name from a local river, has a mountainous terrain and warm climate. Economic opportunities in this community are diverse as a result of its close proximity to the growing city of Ometepec.
In Rio Santa Catarina, World Vision is assisting farmers with production and marketing; educating families on disaster preparedness; and working to improve education through tutoring and teacher training. We are also providing healthcare services, nutritional training, and housing assistance.
