Carmen Idalia

Carmen is requesting another loan to strengthen her business. She will invest in the purchase of flour, salt, free-range chickens, vegetables, and other primary ingredients in order to maintain production of tamales, bread, and  "atoles" [ground-corn beverages].

The previous loans have been very important to Carmen, as it has allowed her to maintain her businesses active and profitable, since when she finds herself without available capital to reinvest, they are her immediate solution.  Carmen has not presented any family problems nor any health problems.  She has the same number of members. However, they are currently living in a new place, her own home, which was built with much personal effort and with the support of her family members.
