María is 50 years of age and is married. Her husband works with metallic structures, and her children are independent.

María has a store selling basic products. She has 7 years of experience in this activity. The store is located at her home, so she does not travel any distance to it. In addition, she engages in making and selling tortillas and pupusas.

María dreams of her businesses continuing to grow and of improving her income so that she can give the best to her family.
