Nery Guadalupe Velasco Cruz

Nery is 19 years old, is married, and has one son. Her husband works in the fields cultivating corn, which is a typical activity for men in the area where they live. Nery sells fruit door-to-door to people in nearby communities, and sometimes in the city of San Cristobal. She is part of the “Mezte Group 4”, along with Manuela Vasquez Pérez, who embroiders cotton blouses, which she sells on the street in the nearest city. With the loan, both want to invest in their businesses. Nery would like to have a fruit stall next to the highway, where there is a lot of traffic, and in this way increase her income. Manuela wishes to buy thread and cloth to make the blouses, which she currently has to buy in order to embroider them.
