Maria Carmen's story

Maria Carmen and her family live in the parish called 24 de mayo where its humble people are dedicated to the agriculture of onions, beans, tomatoes, poultry, pigs, and commerce in general.

Maria Carmen, along with her daughter, earn a living manufacturing piñatas of various designs for all kinds of occasions. They sell them in bazaars and people come to them to request personalized designs. They work everyday. Also, they raise and sell chickens, free-range hens, and free-range eggs which are sold to merchants who come to their home to buy them.

This loan is to buy cardstock, adhesives, glitter, appliqués, a variety of tissue paper, small chickens, food, etc.
