María is 27 years old. She is a single mother of a three-year-old daughter. She lives with her sister.
Maria makes and sells pupusas (stuffed corn tortillas), a business she has had with her sister for more than six years. She sells from her house and works Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.
She will use the loan to buy tables and chairs to improve the ambience and comfort of her business because she wants to better serve her customers.
Maria dreams of continuing with her business, increasing production, and generating more profits so she can give the best to her family.
