Elsy De La Cruz's story
Elsy is twenty-eight years old. She studied up to high school level, but her economic situation did not allow her to continue with her higher education. She lives with her husband and a nine-year-old son. Elsy has been selling pupusas for three years. She learned the trade empirically due to the need to generate more income to support her husband with household expenses. Elsy works from Saturday to Sunday, opening the business at 4:00 pm.
She is requesting a loan to be able to stock her business inventory. She will use the borrowed funds to buy corn, flour, vegetables and other raw materials to make pupusas; and a kitchen with a griddle to improve her work equipment. Elsy hopes that the investment will allow her to increase her sales and profits.
Elsy dreams to have economic stability and to buy a property to improve her family's assets.
