Rebecca started cooking traditional Nicaraguan dishes and selling them out of her home 4 years ago. She has taken 3 micro-loans, totaling $370, to grow her business and now she is applying for a fourth.

Rebecca smiles when she reports that Neo Fund loans “helped me increase my income and allowed me to buy a refrigerator and to convert from a wood fire to propane. Now my children and I can eat better. We even get to have meat, like chicken and fish. And I can pay for my children’s education.”
