Eva Toaza

Eva is married and has one daughter. Her husband works as a baker, and Eva began work 17 years ago making suits for men and women. Her mother sent her to an arts college, and when she left Ms. Toaza was given a sewing machine. From a very young age, she loved to sew, so Eva decided that she would continue with this line of work when she got older. Her customers come to her because they can count on quality and low prices. Eva as well as her husband take turns going to wholesalers so they can purchase things like fabric, thread, utensils. With this $600 loan, Eva is hoping to buy another sewing machine and new fabrics that are popular. Rather than 20% per month, Eva is now able to afford a loan and build her business so that she can improve her family’s standard of living.
