María Magdalena T. P. works selling clothes, shoes and silver jewelry in response to customer orders. She is married, and her husband has a mechanic's workshop. María does not have a fixed sales route, but she goes out to her customers' homes to offer her products. She has 4 children; her two sons help their father in his workshop, while her two daughters help her prepare her merchandise.
This is her second loan with Ceprodel; although she receives help from her husband, she likes to be self-sufficient and run her own business.
