Mbc Los Candelareños Group's story

Nilsa Carolina has been the coordinator of the group "Los Candelareños" for three years. She sells tortillas and "pupusas" [stuffed tortillas]. She began selling tortillas, but over the years decided to add the sale of pupusas to attract more customers and to make her business grow.

She requests the loan to buy quintals of corn, beans, and cheese. She dreams of having a place of her own, because now she has the business in her house which is rented.

In this group: Jorge Alberto , Mirna Guadalupe, Nilsa Carolina, Gloria Esperanza, Juana Antonia
