María atended school through the sixth grade. She is currently single and has a daughter who is in school.
María has a great deal of experience making quesadillas, a job she learned from her ex-mother-in-law. In addition, six months ago she opened a store selling staple goods and snacks. She is also an employee in an eatery.
She needs a loan to buy sugar, oil, beans, rice, coffee, and snacks, among other products, in order to continue selling. María's dream is that her daughter attend university and become a good person in society.
