Suleyma Clavelin's story

Suleyma is applying for another loan because the previous investment helped her business grow and stabilize her economic condition. She will purchase corn, limestone, and firewood to improve the production of tortillas to meet the demand of her customers.

Thanks to the previous financing, Suleyma was able to increase her inventory and diversify her pharmacy business, which gave her the opportunity to increase her customer base and her income.

Currently, in addition to running the pharmacy, Suleyma has managed to start a basic grains store and an artisan tortilla shop. Her work schedule is from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. She organizes herself to attend to her different jobs. Only the sale of tortillas closes at 12:00 noon. She does not mention changes in the structure of her family.
