Margarita is known by her friends as Mago. She is married to Gabriel, and together the couple has five children, all financial dependents. With the firm goal of improving her quality of life, Margarita opened a business making a selling “mixiotes”, a traditional Mexican dish made with a spice called annotto. Margarita also offers banqueting and waitering services, and rents out tables. In doing so, she provides jobs to more than 15 people.
With profits, Margarita has been able to expand her business and offer a fuller and more personal service to customers. On average, Margarita has two full events per month, and on other occasions rents out chairs, tablecloths, and tables.
Margarita has applied for another loan in order to buy vegetables, spices, chillis, meat, rolls of bags, material for tablecloths, and gas, and continue with her work.
