Maria is a woman who feels very thankful for these two businesses because in the past they gave her a loan, which she used to make improvements in her house. Today she is enjoying better conditions in her home.
Maria has focused on selling nactamales [a typical dish] to generate income. She has returned to apply for a Kiva loan at MiCrédito to buy corn, flour, pork, lard, and other condiments to make this exquisite typical dish. With the profits she will improve her business. Maria is still not prepared to be self-sufficient.
