Eusebia Sanchez Cruz lives in the town of La Virgen. Her community is characterized by its natural beauty and tranquility. Eusebia lives with her 37 year-old daughter who is handicapped. They have a small house made out of adobe and bricks with a metal roof.
She is asking for your support with this loan so that she is able to buy more sheep, and food/land for them. She currently has 15 sheep and a small corral. However, she wants to keep increasing her flock of sheep because she remembers that before she had them she didn’t even have money for her most basic necessities. They are a great financial support to her. In her free time, she also likes to embroider napkins to sell.
She thanks you for your support.

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.

The loan Eusebia received has been useful to help her purchase food and grass for her animals. She was also able to add 5 more sheep to her corral. She now has a total of 12 sheep. She has more sheep now. It lets her sell more animals when her family needs food or shoes.
She has been able to pay on time. Mrs. Eusebia is grateful, because the loan has made it possible for her to keep her business going. Thank you for supporting Eusebia and World Vision Micro!
Eusebia's business has improved. She has bred more sheep. She was also able to purchase 5 more. She can sell some of them and keep others, getting profits for sheep breeding. She gets even more by caring for her sheep so well. She sells them to her neighbors. She is making more money to get things that she needs for her family. She is saving money for those days when she will no longer work and has to support herself.
She is so grateful for the trust and opportunity to go ahead with the loans. She could pay it because the interest is low. She now has a higher income because of the increase in her profits. She has the opportunity to invest the bonus in more animals that she sells in her community.
Mrs. Eusebia wants to continue working and hopes that her sheep breeding increases. She can get more profits if she sells more sheep. She will invest the profits in the purchase of chickens, turkeys and pigs to go ahead and expand her business more. She finished paying the loan. She got confidence and support from getting the loan and being able to continue her business. She hopes to continue by receiving another loan. She is planning to increase her sheep again. Her loan has been paid in full. These funds are now available to help another worthy entrepreneur in her community. Thank you for supporting Eusebia and World Vision Micro!
