Maria Salome's story

Maria is 57 years old. She only studied as far as primary school and is married. Her husband is a day labourer.

Maria has earned a living from making and selling tortillas for five years. The business is situated five minutes away from her home and she works from 6 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon.

She needs the loan to buy corn and wood for her tortilla business.

Maria dreams of improving her living conditions.
