Home to a primarily ethnic Mazahua population, the community of Najhé is located in a mountainous region in northeastern Mexico State. The climate is sub-humid, but temperatures are typically cool due to the region’s high elevation. Windstorms are common during the early spring, followed by heavy rains in the summer and frost in the winter.
Women in Najhé continue to wear typical Mazahua dress, and some community members uphold traditional artisan practices, producing pottery, woodwork, and crafts made of wool. The primary economic activity is agriculture. Squash, beans, and fruit are grown for consumption, while corn is grown both to eat and to sell.
World Vision’s work in Najhé includes agricultural assistance to improve nutrition and family incomes; vocational training and tutoring sessions; and self-esteem workshops. We are also working to improve health conditions by training volunteers who can educate community members and by providing housing materials that will contribute to better living environments.

Mr. Florentino used the loan that World Vision had given him to invest in his grocery store. He bought soap, oil, eggs and refreshments.
He has been able to cover his personal as well as his family expenses, and he even has had enough to continue investing in his business.
He considers himself to be a very responsible person. And up to now he has been able to make his loan payments on time.
The loan and his good administration helped him to buy a car and pay for his children's school needs.
He's very grateful to World Vision for the support and he says that the loan program works great when people know how to manage the money and the credit.

He now has the financial resources to invest and cover his household expenses because the people who come to his store can find the products that they need without having to walk far, and they pay the same prices.
Mr. Florentino says that he has been able to make the loan payments, and have enough money to pay for the food and the household expenses. He says that when one has the will to work things go well, but when a person is lazy, then everything becomes a very heavy burden.
He's very grateful for the opportunity that he has been given, and he wants to continue counting on future loans because he still needs to buy other merchandise that his clients request. He also wants to buy a glass cabinet to better display his products.
His goal is to expand his business. He also wants to provide better for his family. He hopes not to have to depend on loan anymore, but for right now he needs to continue investing to grow his business.
