Maria 's Story

With Maria's first loan, she began a business selling cosmetics. With these profits, she was able to help out with household costs, buy her home, and help her mother.

With this new loan Maria is going to buy more cosmetics since the people in her community are always asking her for more products. "Thanks to the loans I have been able to buy my house and I have a huge dream for the future that my grandchildren can finish college and grow on their own. I can accomplish these things with the help of the loans. Thank you to the people who are helping me and allowing me to help my grandchildren improve their lives”

Maria Benita Lopez is 60 years old and is originally from Hidalgo. She lives in a small, poor community and only went to school until the third grade. She then started working in the country, but she only was only able to make a small amount of money.

Her father then left the family, and her mother had to care of 4 children. When Maria was 13 she moved to Mexico City to work as a maid and in this way she was able to help support her family.
