A loan helped to purchase maíz, limes and firewood to increase her inventory at her business where she sells tortillas.


Imelda Isabel's story

Imelda lives with her partner and young child. Imelda states that she does receive financial support from those abroad. She has been dedicated to her tortilla sales business for the past 2 years. She comments that her mother taught her this work. She works Monday to Sunday from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

She is requesting a loan because she needs financial resources to invest in her business. The loaned funds will be used to purchase maíz, limes and firewood to stock her business. She hopes that if she stocks her business, her sales and earnings will increase.

Imelda's dream is to continue with her business and to have financial stability to meet her familial obligations.
