Maria Antonia's story
María is 64. She only went to elementary school. She currently lives with her partner, who is not working. Her children are all grown up and living on their own. She lives at home with her partner and three of her grandchildren.
For about 30 years, María has been making and selling traditional foods like atoles, tamales, boiled cassava, and other similar products. She does this four days a week, going out to sell her goods as a street vendor in her community. This work has been her bread and butter for a long time.
She is asking for a loan to buy materials and improve her workspace, since the place where she prepares her products is a damaged shed. She will also use some of the money to buy supplies like corn, plastic bags, chicken, seasonings, condiments, and tamales leaves. This will help her increase her production and make more sales.
María dreams of building a stable business that will allow her to have a better quality of life and continue supporting her partner, who is currently unemployed.
