A loan helped to buy corn since it is the raw material to make and sell tortillas.


Maritza Beatriz's story

Maritza is married. Her husband is a day laborer and they have a daughter.

Maritza has been working by making and selling tortillas for 6 years. She has learned this skill from her mother. Her business is located in her home and she works from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm.

She needs the loan to buy corn since it is the raw material to make and sell tortillas.

Maritza dreams with having a very known business so she can improve their income so they can provide a better quality of life to her daughter.
