EDAPROSPO Anita Sabino

Anita Sabino has been working at her roadside food stall for the past 16 years. She prepares ceviche (a common Peruvian dish composed of raw fish soaked in a lemon juice sauce and served with onions, cilantro, and a slice of yucca) and her stall is located in a broader street market in Comas, Peru. She is married with two sons aged 26 & 27.

She used the money you loaned her to buy plates and more food for her business. While before she sold only ceviche (which has a low profit margin), she can now offer a varied menu every day. Within that menu, she has also expanded her offerings to include prepared food that has a greater profit potential. With the investment provided by the loan, her monthly profits have risen considerably, from 1100 soles previously to 1600 soles now. With her next loan she is likely to add salchipapas (mixture of sliced hot dogs and French fries eaten with ketchup and mayonnaise or aji- Peruvian chiles) and anticuchos (skewered meat, usually cow heart), two more traditional Peruvian dishes with even greater profit potential. Her eventual goal is still to open up a restaurant off the street so she can have greater security and have a solid location.

She thanks you for the loan and little-by-little, she will be growing her business and hopefully one day achieving her dream of a restaurant. Already this loan has helped her along that path.
