A loan helped to purchase maíz and a flattening iron.


Carmelina's story

Carmelina is a lovely 65 year old woman. She is married and a mother to a family who happily lives in a warm area called Colonia El Rosario.

She strives every day to achieve her goals and objectives. This inspired her to start a business where she sells tortillas. She offers her products on the main streets of the community. Thanks to her kindness and responsibility, she has been able to cover her personal expenses with the earnings from her business.

Carmelina looks for ways to improve her business each day. For this reason, she is requesting a credit to purchase maíz and a flattening iron. She is convinced that with this loan she will be able to continue providing good service to her clients. Therefore, she is grateful in advance for the unconditional support provided.
