Maria Candelaria's story
María is requesting a new loan so she can invest in her tortilla business. She started the business a month ago. She works with her daughter in the business from 6:00am to 12:00pm. She still has her other business making and selling crocheted handicrafts. She started the tortilla business to generate an additional income and keep providing for her household's needs. She will buy corn, lime, propane and firewood to keep selling tortillas.
The previous loan had a positive effect because María was able to maintain her business making and selling crocheted handicrafts and generate enough of a profit to start her tortilla business, which will generate even more income. María is satisfied with results of the loan. And regarding the previous loan, she now finds herself more financially solvent.
She is still single and takes care of her three children, all of whom are perfectly healthy.
