Entrepreneur Profile
Gudelia is a model of compact resourcefulness: out of her home she runs not only a basic-goods store, but also raises pigs for sale.
She seeks a loan to improve her store's selection, greater quantities and varieties of products. This also benefits her community, because her neighbors then don't have to go out of town to buy the products they need.
Gudelia is very happy and proud to work and support the household expenses, as well as contributing along with her husband in providing a better life for their children. She is 53 years old, married and a mother of 2 children, Enrique is 10 and Vanessa is 12. She says, "They are the light of my life."
