Claudia is 43 years old. She is a single mother and her children depend upon her income. She was able to study up to high school.
Claudia sells tortillas, grows corn, and raises pigs. Her children help her. She learned her business from her mother and she does the same work to support her family. She sells tortillas from her home and the land where she farms in in the same neighborhood where she lives.
Despite difficulties, she is an enterprising woman. She has been supported with four Kiva loans. Two have been paid, one is about to be paid off, and she is paying punctually on the most recent. She needs a new loan to buy corn for the sale of tortillas. With the profits she will improve her life; she is a single mother.
She hopes that her children will have good opportunities for work in the future.
