Santos Margarita's story
Santos is single. She has four children; only two daughters, who are minors, are her economic dependents. She has no relatives who live abroad.
Santos has worked for four years making and selling tortillas. She learned the trade from her family. Santos works alongside a sister Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Santos is requesting a loan to strengthen the inventory in her business with a purchase of corn, lime powder, and propane gas for making tortillas. She hopes her sales increase and generate more profit for her.
Her goals are to have a much bigger business and to teach her daughters the trade.
