A loan helped a member to buy supplies to make tamales.


Luna Azul Group's story

Noelya Esmeralda is very pleased with the granted loan. It permitted her to improve her living conditions and to have a prettier house. But she wishes to improve the stability of her business selling shredded cabbage, tamales, tortillas, and stuffed tortillas. Therefore she requests a new loan to buy supplies to make tamales. With this investment she hopes to have greater availability and thus to improve her income.

Noelya dreams of having a larger griddle in the future, to be able to make more tortillas and stuffed tortillas, to meet customer demand and to have a better quality of life.

Noelya, Ivania, Eva, and Sonia continue as the members of the solidarity group “LUNA AZUL” [blue moon]. They are committed and responsible people, who seek to get their families ahead and wish to repay the loan without any problem.

In this group: Eva Patricia, Ivana Jeanmillette, Sonia Beatriz, Noelya Esmeralda
