Alba Luz's story
Alba is a merchant who works making and selling tamales, a job she has carried out for the past 20 years and which represents her family’s main source of income. With effort and dedication, she works every day to support her household and provide better opportunities for her five children.
However, her business requires improvements in order to continue growing and maintain adequate production. With the goal of strengthening her work, Alba applied for a loan that she will use to purchase sacks of flour and to make improvements to her shop.
With this investment, she hopes to optimize her production, improve the conditions of her business, and increase her income. Alba is confident that this loan will allow her to improve her family’s stability, provide a more suitable environment for her children, and continue moving forward toward her goals of growth and wellbeing.
