Grupo El Calvario Samayac Group's story

Luisa is a 63-year-old mother. She is married with three children ranging in age from 26 to 40. They live in a community in Samayac.

To obtain income and provide for her family, Luisa works making traditional clothing from her region. She has had this business for ten years. She likes this business since she runs it from the comfort of her home.

She is an entrepreneur, and in order to further bolster her business she is requesting a loan that she will invest in buying raw materials: threads, needles, and dyes for making traditional clothing.

Luisa's big dream is to have her own sales location to improve her textile sales.
