A loan helped to buy corn, vegetables, meats, condiments, limes, etc to have the raw materials needed to sell typical snacks.


Maria Marcelina's story

María has decided to apply for another loan because she needs working capital to boost her business. She will invest in purchasing corn, vegetables, meats, condiments, limes, etc.,in order to have raw materials for the sale of typical snacks, such as pozol, breads with chicken, among others.

She shares that, thanks to the previous loan she boosted her business. The result was positive because her sales and profits grew, given that the number of clients increased. For María, the financing was very useful to overcome the economic crisis that was happening as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

María lives with her mother. Her daughters already have a separate home, but they reside in the same community.
