Project Report | Aug 27, 2018
"The tiny mustard seed"

By Ana Milena Ordosgoitia / Minerva Palacio | Project Leader

Martha
Martha

Martha started her business 4 years ago after watching her neighbors need to buy their groceries nearby. Her store’s name is “El Granito de Mostaza” or “The tiny mustard seed”. Roger, her husband, explained the store was named after their dream of having a grocery store, which started from zero to become bigger as it is today.

Martha’s desire to keep growing her business and her responsibility during her participation in the project, allow her to get another microcredit. Today, she and her husband not only own a store, but an apartment, thanks to their business, which has given all of them a better quality of life.

Martha and Roger’s children feel happy with their parents business growth and Katherine, her neighbor says they are really kind with their costumers and that in the store, she finds all she needs.
