Over the last three years, Rufina Osorio Na has become adept at business, from selling shoes to owning a taxi with her son, who drives it. She wants her children to see that dreams do come true.
To help increase her business she would like another loan to sell her current taxi and buy a nicer one, as well as to become a licensed taxi owner/operator so that they can attract more clients and bring in more income towards her dream business, opening a laundry. She wants her children to see that dreams can be achieved.
Rufina is 58 years old and is originally from the state of Oaxaca, but she has lived in San Carlos Cantera for 20 years. She is married and has two sons who are now living independently.

Loans are needed to begin, expand, or sustain business with tools and supplies. Loans given to entrepreneurs in the service sector account for around 7% of our loans.
