Entrepreneur Profile
Luz Maria's town loves her quesadillas, and a loan could turn her culinary popularity into an education for her four children.
With the help of her husband she started to sell sopes, quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas, and more; and there was a lot of demand, but she did not have the money to make more.
With this loan, Senora Luz could buy more raw foodstuffs and could offer her customers more foods, and have more income to give a good education to her children, and have a better life.
Luz Maria is married and has 4 children. They live in a very simple house in a small town named Cuajinicuilapa, in Guerreo.

Final Report - April 21, 2010
Mrs. Luz used her loan to buy ingredients to cook quesadillas, enchiladas, and other mexican food. Every day she works very hard to provide a better life for her children. With the profits she earned from her business, she was able to cover the school expenses of her children. She would like to thank the people of World Vision for her loan and hopes that you can try her cooking some day!
