Martha Lidia's story
Martha is 41 years old, partnered, and her partner is a mason. She has three children, of whom one depends on her.
Martha sells tamales pisques (corn tamales stuffed with beans), corn tamales, and poleada (a rice beverage with cinnamon). She has already been doing this activity for some years and learned it from her mother. In addition, she has her family's support.
Martha needs the loan to purchase corn, oil, beans, corn on the cob, rice, milk, cinnamon, salt, etc., to make tamales and poleada to continue selling.
She dreams of continuing to work and of supporting her child's education.
