Mujeres De Fe Ciudadela Group's story

María Marlu is 40 years old, married, and the mother of four children. She works making tortillas and "nacatamales" [Nicaraguan-style tamales]. She began the work with her own effort.

She requests a new Kiva loan from Fundenuse to buy raw materials, because she obtained good profits with the previous loan. Her goal is to buy an electric appliance to keep products for more time.

With Yelsin and Santos, she belongs to the solidarity group "Mujeres de Fe Ciudadela".

In this group: Yelsin, María Marlu, Santos
