Joselin Emerita

Joselin, a 33-year-old woman, is the breadwinner of her household. With a 15-year-old daughter and a seven-month-old baby to care for, Roxana has found her means for getting ahead by selling pupusas. For the past year, she has been serving her customers in her own home four days a week, with the invaluable help of her eldest daughter. She has no help from abroad.

To continue growing, she is looking to buy essential raw materials such as flour, tomatoes, pork rinds, cheese, and beans. She also wants to purchase some plastic table sets for her establishment.

With this investment, her goal is to ensure that she always has enough supplies for production and to serve her customers optimally.

Her greatest dream and aspiration is to provide a better quality of life for herself and her daughters, building a more prosperous future through her effort and dedication.
