Entrepreneur Profile
Martha Garcia lives in the city of Ometepec and sells cosmetics with the goal of improving the lives of her children. This is very important to her because it is the sole economic support of the family. She has two children, José,10 and Luis Alfredo, 6.
This loan is a good opportunity for her as she needed to purchase more products, but did not have the money to be able to buy them. For her it was more than just an economic opportunity, but also an opportunity to improve the lives of her children.
With the earnings from her loan she will purchase the necessary supplies for her children’s schooling.
Her biggest dream is to one day sell products made of gold, such as necklaces, bracelets, rings and other jewelry because that would provide her with much higher earnings and enable her to improve the quality of life for herself and for her children.
Martha says: “with the help of the loan I will be able to buy a large variety of clothing and gold jewelry to sell.”
