A loan helped to buy silk threads, thimbles and tubes to make hammocks, and also to invest in thread spun from agave plants to make ropes.


Santos Luisa's story

Santos is requesting a new loan to strengthen her hammock-making business. The money will be used to buy silk threads, thimbles and tubes to make hammocks. She will also invest in thread spun from agave plants to make ropes.

The previous loan was helpful as she was able to keep at hand the needed materials to increase the craft production and thus meet her clients' demands. The business has generated more profits that she has used to offer her family better living conditions, including diet and access to better care.

Translated from Spanish.


This loan is special because:

It gives El Salvador's artists a chance to revive the local art of handcrafting.
