Mrs. Maria Lucaria needs a loan to invest in her business: selling juices and fruit. Now she needs a loan to buy a squeezer for oranges, fruits, glasses and forks.
Before she started this business her situation was hard because her children had to leave school. She and her husband did not have money, and for this reason she started with her business.
She wants improve her business because her oldest daughter is starting with high school and the expenses will increase.
This is the economic activity of her and her husband. And with this business she has given her 4 children a modest life. Mrs. Lucaria is married and lives in San Felipe. She and her husband have 4 children: Blanca, Itzel, Aldo and Ariel. It is Mrs. Lucaria’s dream that all of her children will go to the university.
In areas where the poor live alongside the more affluent, businesses in the service sector can be very successful. Services include flower cultivation, tailoring/sewing, transportation, repair work, beauty salons and barber shops, and restaurants. 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.

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.
