Duo Juntas Venceremos
Doña María Magdalena is from the small village of Chajalajya, in Tecpan, Guatemala. She is 44 and has 8 young children to care for. She makes handcrafts and works in agriculture.
She has done this for eight years, as this is the way she can get ahead.
Her husband works as a day labourer, and thanks to his support and the support of their entire family, her business is moving forward.
Her dream is to expand her business more in order to have a better income and to be able to send her children to school. She is requesting this loan for the purchase of basic supplies for making traditional weavings for sale.
