A loan of $1,500 helps to buy corn, which is the main ingredient to make tortillas, and gas to prepare her products.
Ana Elizabeth's story
Ana is 26 years old and completed the third year at school. She currently lives with her partner and has two children who depend on her, for whom she works diligently to provide a better life.
Ana has been making and selling tortillas for approximately four years, a skill she learned from her grandmother. The business runs at her home, so she doesn't need to travel. Her workday begins at 7 a.m. and ends around 2 p.m. The business was previously a family affair, but she now runs it independently, working hard to look after it and expand it.
She will use the loan to buy corn, the main ingredient for making tortillas, as well as gas for cooking. She also plans to buy a larger stove to streamline production and improve customer service.
Ana dreams of expanding her business, improving her income, and providing a better quality of life for her partner and children, thus looking for greater economic stability for her family.
