Ten years ago, Adela opened a grocery store. She wanted to support her husband with the household expenses. She wanted to help better support her children. She is grateful to her husband for his support.
With a loan, Adela will purchase items such as beans, rice, milk, cooking oil, sodas, detergent, cookies, toilet paper and water. By stocking her shelves, she will meet her customers' needs.
Her profits will enable her to offer her family a better quality of life. Adela will reinvest in her business and eventually would like a larger space. Her first goal is to purchase a new refrigerator for the sodas.
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.
Residents of the community of Cuajinicuilapa are primarily a mix of native Mexicans and Africans, who originally arrived with the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes.
