A loan helped to buy sausages, potatoes, bread, beverages, etc.


Astrid Yesenia's story

Astrid, 35, is passionate about two things that driver her every day: her family, she is marred and has two children, and cooking. Through much effort, love and dedication she was able to start a food business that is now her main source of income and the boost to a better lifestyle for her family.

Thanks to her business Astrid has been able to give her family a better quality of life. But she wants to do more and dreams of improving her service, reaching out to more people and continuing to grow. Therefore she is applying for a loan to buy supplies such as potatoes, sausages, bread and beverages.

Every contribution, no matter how small, is one more ingredient in this recipe for hope and progress for Astrid and her family.
