Esmeralda Del Transito's story
Esmeralda is 39 years old, currently single, has no children, and lives with her parents. She receives remittances from family members and supports herself through the tortilla-selling business that she started five years ago at her own initiative when she saw the need to contribute to the household expenses. She operates her business 5 days a week with the help of an assistant, from 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Esmeralda is seeking a loan to buy corn and a griddle for making tortillas. Buying corn wholesale at a lower cost would provide her with a better profit margin, and the griddle will help her increase production and serve more customers.
Esmeralda's dream is to improve the facilities where she sells tortillas and achieve a stable financial situation for a better quality of life.
