Update from Nicaragua
 
Entrepreneur: Nicolaza Carolina Lopez Rodríguez
Location: Managua, Nicaragua

Nicolaza Carolina Lopez Rodriguez is a merchant and tortilla maker whose motivation to ask for a loan was to improve her house. The loan, however, was used to buy photo cameras and raw materials to make tortillas. The results of the loan were good, she has achieved what she wanted and a bit more because now she has been able to start a photo business as well – run by her husband and children. For the future she plans on soliciting another loan to improve her house, the walls and roof and a bit of the interior as well. She would recommend microloans because “the interest rate is low and AFODENIC is a responsive and caring organization.”
