Luisa 's Story

Luisa Sánchez Cruz would like to use her loan to buy some yearling calves and with the sale of them be able to put in a concrete floor in her house. Right now, although she has some savings, she is using it to help her children.

She would like to have the security of having some savings for something unplanned or an emergency and she believes that she could make that a reality through this loan.

Luisa began with one calf and now has four, but her dream is that through this business she will be able to pay for her children to go to university.

She lives in San Felipe del Progreso and has two children.

Industry Info

Luisa 's Community

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.
