Adding to basket
Elda is single. She lives with her children, who are twins; a girl and a boy of 4 years of age. She does have relatives who live outside the country.
Elda has worked selling tortillas for 20 years. She works at her business from 5:00am to 9:00pm. She learned this skill from her mother when she was 8 years old.
She is asking for a loan to invest in her business. The loan will be used to buy corn at wholesale pricing, plus a stove with a griddle to expand her business.
The loan will allow her to increase her sales and earnings. The risk of the loan is the increasing competition in the area.
Her dream is to have a bigger and more profitable business to improve the living conditions for her family.
