Trinidad works making and selling a product that’s typical of the State of Veracruz known as “obleas” [a type of thin wafer]. This business is her family’s source of income since she has three children she’s responsible for.
She’s asking for the loan to buy raw materials and tools which are larger griddles and special pans to make the wafers.
She wants to invest in the business because she’s being given the opportunity to sell her products to restaurants and for children’s parties and she’ll be able to provide jobs for other people this way.
