A loan helped to purchase corn, lime powder, corn flour, and firewood to make and sell tortillas.


Ignacia's story

Ignacia is 50 years old, single, and lives in the municipality of Puerto Cortes, in the department of Cortes. She has worked making corn and flour tortillas processed in her house for eight years. Previously, she worked offering laundry services.

She is currently asking ODEF for a loan for the amount of 27,000 lempiras which she plans to invest in the purchase of corn, lime powder, corn flour, and firewood to make and sell tortillas.

She is grateful for the financial support and believes that the loan will serve her to have raw material on hand, streamlining her production and increasing her income.
