Margarita lives with her husband and 11 children in a home owned by a sugar cane manufacturing company. Since 1992, she has been working toward her goal of building her own home. Hurricane damage has thwarted her progress, but Margarita continues to dream of a home to call her own. She sought a loan from Esperanza, HOPE’s partner in the Dominican Republic, a few years ago to begin her business selling chickens. She utilizes her loans to travel to a neighboring town where she can purchase chickens and saves as much of her business income as possible to put toward the continued construction of her home.
