Loan Use:
To improve her shoe-shine stand and buy more colors of shoe-shine, to provide higher quality service.
Margarita lives in Francisco Serrato, a rural town that retains most of its Mazahua traditions. She learned the shoe-shine business her husband started, because he had to leave to go work to make more money for their family of five. Because of this, she knows she needs to be an entrepreneurial person so that she could help her children. Today, after much hard work and dedication she now has a good location and she works every day from 8AM to 8PM.
She says her first loan was a huge help to not just her business but also her life, since without the loan, it would have been much more difficult to reach her goals. She would like another loan so that she can improve her shoe-shine stand and buy more colors of shoe-shine so that she can provide a better service to her clients as well as attract new ones.
Margarita is an excellent example of a hard-working, responsible mother who has been able to help her family through her hard work and dedication.
She is 32 years old, married and has 3 children. She has a good location in the central park of Zitácuaro.
