Rosario 's Story

In the past, Rosario has had trouble taking contracts to make meals because she did not have enough money to make meals large enough for her clients' needs. Because of this, she has lost some clients. She would like a loan so that she can buy enough ingredients to make meals in larger quantities.

Right now she makes meals for “take-out” and for events. With the loan she will be able to take these contracts and can make larger quantities of food to offer for large events. Through this, she can make more money and improve the lives of her son and herself.

With the help of this loan she wants to grow her business, putting another location in the center of the city, which would sell food everyday for low prices. There are many people who come to the city from the mountains to buy food, and there are not many places that sell food in the city.

She would like to be able to make money, but also to help these people save money as well. In the end, her goal is to increase the quality of life for her son and herself and ensure that her son can go to school. Rosario is 33 years old and lives with her son in Ometepec.
