Blanca lives in Usulután. She produces and sells tortillas and tamales. She lives in her own house with her husband and two nephews aged 15 and 8. She sells tortillas every day, while she sells tamales four times a week only.
She is requesting a loan to buy basic ingredients such as maize, chicken, dressings, vegetables and firewood. This purchase will help her buying the necessary goods to keep on producing tortillas and tamales.
The improvement of her activity is paramount for Blanca, as her family is economically dependent on her job.
