Ada Marixa's story

Ada Marixa is 56 years of age, is married, has 2 children, and lives with her family in the municipality of Tela, in the department of Atlántida. For 3 years, she has been selling foods such as pastelitos [savory filled hand pies], fried chicken, juices, etc. She sells at her home. In the past, she was a private employee.

She is requesting a loan from ODEF in the amount of 28,000 Lempiras [HNL] to invest in the purchase of meats, vegetables, flour, tortillas, fruits, and other items for making the food. With this investment, she hopes to have what she needs for the functioning of her business.

Her dream is for her business to grow much more, so as to ensure a better standard of living for her family.
