Mrs. Zeferiona makes bread to sell. In the beginning she did not have oven, utensils and other things to cook bread.
Sometime ago she saved and made an artisanal oven to cook bread and buy utensils like varnish.
Mrs. Zeferiona needs a loan to buy a mixer and raw materials to increase her production and sales. With the mixer she could reduce the time of production and with this produce more in same time, with more quality and variety.
If she increases her sales, she increase her profits and she could give a better life to her family, with healthcare and school.
Mrs. Zeferina lives in a little town called Cochoapa. She lives with her family, in a little house made of mud and roof of tile.
