A loan helped to buy corn, maize, beans, and other raw materials for her sale of tamales and cooked corn.


Maria Vicenta's story

María is requesting another loan as working capital to strengthen one of her businesses. She will buy corn, maize, beans, and other raw materials that she needs for her sale of tamales and cooked corn.

Thanks to the previous investment she has managed to sustain her businesses making petates (sleeping mat made from tule reeds) and selling typical dishes such as tamales, atoles, etc.

This has allowed her to improve her sales and generate more profits. María’s family group remains with the same number of members.
