Adding to basket
Roxana attended school up to the second grade. She is married and her husband is a day laborer. She has two children who depend on her. She lives with her husband, mother-in-law, and children.
For the past three years, Roxana has worked making and selling rice quesadillas [a typical Salvadoran cheese-filled bread or pound cake]. She learned to do it thanks to her mother-in-law. She has an oven at home, and bakes her bread in the afternoon with help from her mother-in-law and her sisters-in-law. She used to fish for a living.
She needs the loan to buy rice and molds to make the quesadillas.
Her dream is to increase her quesadilla sales to obtain a better income.
