A loan helped to buy corn and lime powder in greater quantities in order to stock the inventory of her tortilla business.


Ana Cecilia's story

Ana lives with her family, which is comprised of her life partner and children. She opened a tortilla business ten years ago with the objective of generating earnings to cover her family's basic necessities.

She will use the loan to buy corn and lime powder in greater quantities to stock the inventory of her tortilla business. Her intent is to strengthen her business in order to improve the tortilla production. This way she will generate new earnings in order to have the chance to share a more comfortable lifestyle with her family.

Her objectives are to work in order to make her business grow and to open a basic household products store of at the same place that she sells tortillas.
