Entrepreneur Profile
Mr. Pedro Eduarte Torres lives in San Nicolas Guadalupe with his wife. He loves living here because he says that he gets along marvelously with all of his neighbors and everyone treats him well. He lives in a house made out of earth, which has seven rooms total.
He says that although he considers himself to have a decent lifestyle overall, he would like to be able to improve his quality of life because sometimes he does not have enough money. He would like your support with this loan so that he is able to buy more chickens to breed and then sell. Right now he only has a few chickens in a small chicken coop. He says that giving him a loan would benefit his community as well because he would be able to provide jobs for other people. His grown children are also willing to help him with selling his chickens from their truck.
Pedro is grateful for your help.

Entrepreneur Location
Local Community
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.
