Lanza 6 Group

Romelia is 33, married with 2 children, and her husband works in the fields. For the past 8 years, she has run a small mill from her home where she grinds cooked corn to make dough for tortillas, which she then sells in her local community. The other members of the group have a variety of activities. Sabina has been selling chicken parts for the past 3 years. Margarita, on the other hand, sells artisan breads from her home. Both Irma and Francisca have put small grocery stores in their homes where they sell rice, sugar, milk and milk products, sweets and non-perishable goods to people who live nearby. The income from their businesses help all of them to put food on their tables.
