Adding to basket
Maria is 24 years old and lives with her seven-year-old daughter. In order to generate income to cover household expenses, Maria makes a living baking and selling sweet breads. She has been baking since she was six years old and now she works full time.
She has requested a loan in order to have more money available that will allow her to buy flour, sugar, salt, yeast, cinnamon, etc, in order to continue making bread, and in this way provide a better service for her customers. Maria hopes that the investment will help her have better sales and income since this will allow her to cover the household expenses and support the repayment of debt she has acquired.
Maria dreams of providing her daughter with the opportunity to get ahead academically so that she can become a professional. She also wants to have a much bigger bakery that is well-known in the area.
