Elia would like a loan so that she can buy corn to make tortillas.
Elia began making and selling tortillas 10 years ago and with the earnings has been able to help her husband with some of the household expenses.
She would also like to be able to invest in a beauty salon in her community since the selling of tortillas allows her time to do this and she will be able to earn more income with both businesses. With this loan she will be able to give her children a better education and better opportunities in life.
Elia lives with her husband and four sons in a small house with dirt walls and a corrugated plastic roof in the city of Ometepec.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs entrepreneur 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.
