Mrs. Carlota del Carmen Lopez (love that name!!) just repaid her loan in full. Here's her success story.
LOAN DETAILS:
Name: Mrs. Carlota del Carmen Lopez
Location: Nicaragua
Business: soft drinks
Loan For: working capital for additional merchandise
FROM THE LOAN APPLICATION:
Mrs. Carlota del Carmen Lopez is a 50-year-old single woman with three children. The two eldest help her in the business, the other is 21 years old and studying to finish his course in Systems Engineering. The father of her children is a builder who helps her when he can. Her business is the sale of carbonated drinks and natural fruit drinks, and she also sells pork with prepared manioc. At Christmas time she sells fruits such as apples and grapes in order to survive since there is no other steady income in the house.
Her loan proposal is to inject a little capital into her business so she can offer her products every day. Her greatest desire is to open a cafe-style drinks stand and increase her business. Her dream is to have her own premises for her business since in wintertime she gets so wet she even loses her merchandise or has to stop selling other products. If she had her own premises she could stop paying rent.
