Dora Luz is from Mexico. She has 2 children. She needs a loan of $475 to buy more ingredients for preparing Mexican snacks.
Dora Luz is married to Victor and together they have 2 daughters: Brenda and Ana Karen, who are both attending school. Dora has been in the food business for almost nine years. She had decided to start working because she wanted to help her husband with the family expenses, including their daughters' education. She mentions that her mother taught her to cook since she was very young and she knows that she is gifted in the "art of the kitchen."
Dora needs a loan in order to invest in her business. A loan from World Vision will enable Dora to buy chili, onion, garlic, beans, cheese, meat, maize, sour cream and many other ingredients to make typical Mexican dishes and snacks. By preparing more food, Dora will be able to generate more income to help her family. With the experience of those many years of work, she is beginning to learn more about when to invest and when to save. In the future, Dora would like to buy tables, chairs, spoons, forks, and knives in order to improve the service she provides.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.
