Mrs. Margarita sells groceries at her neighborhood store in the “Amor de Dios” area in the city of El Alto. She has been in the grocery business for two years. The demand for these products is daily since most of them are for family consumption. Margarita has three small, school-aged children who she hopes will become professionals one day so they can have a better lifestyle. Margarita’s greatest desire is to have enough capital to open a mini-market and earn enough to give her family a better life. She plans to use the loan to buy wholesale groceries such as noodles and rice to restock her store. She is a very responsible, hard-working person who is grateful to the institution for the support she has received.
