A loan helped to buy ingredients to make tortillas.


Santos Raquel's story

Santos Raquel is 22 years old. She is single and has 1 daughter. She lives with her in the municipality of Distrito Central, department of Francisco Morazán. She used to just take care of her family as a stay at home mother. Four years ago, she started her own business selling tortillas. She sells them from her home.

Santos Raquel is now asking for a loan with ODEF in the amount of 22,000 lempiras. She will invest it in buying ingredients to make the tortillas. This investment will increase the tortilla production and generate more profits. Her dream is for her business to grow.
