Maria Victoria
A loan of $900 helps to purchase raw materials, primarily corn, needed for making tortillas.
Maria Victoria's story
María is 49 years old. She is currently partnered and her partner works in agriculture. She has two children, one works as an assistant for a cargo truck and the other is a student. María lives with just her partner and children, with whom she shares the household responsibilities.
For some months, María has worked selling tortillas, an activity she does to contribute to the family income. Her work day starts at 6:00 in the morning and ends at 3:00 in the afternoon. Before working at this business, she worked in farming and also has experience raising poultry.
The loan she requests will be used to purchase raw materials, primarily corn, needed for making tortillas and to be able to continue with her tortilla business.
María dreams of continuing to develop her business, increase her sales, and of continuing to support her family. Her primary goal is to improve her enterprise and, so, to achieve greater financial stability for her household.
