Maria's Mid Term Update June 10, 2010

Mrs. Mary Garcia used her loan to buy raw materials for cooking zacahuil and artisanal bread. She has had this business for 3 years, and hopes to help her husband with the household expenses.
With the loan Mary learns to be independent, because before she would only get money from her husband to be able to invest in her business, but now with the loan she feels independent.

Maria's Final Update August 05, 2010

Maria

Mary Garcia's bakery has proven quite profitable as a result of her small business loan. Her loan from World Vision enabled her to purchase the raw materials she needed more cheaply in wholesale.

Now Mary Garcia does not have to depend on the help of her sons. Her business has given her a better life and she now feels like a little businesswoman.

The extra income has helped her repay her loan in full and on time. Moreover, she's even saved some money to invest in her business later on. Mary Garcia says that thanks to the donors who believe in people like me, our small businesses can help change the world!
