Making Dreams Come True
Maria resides in Tuxtla, Mexico, where she cares for several of her grandchildren, taking on this responsibility despite facing numerous life challenges that have left her burdened with debt. To make ends meet, Maria sells a traditional beverage known as tascalate. Through the generous support of the Giving Machine program, Maria received corn, coca, and achiote, enabling her to produce a substantial quantity of tascalate. Seizing the opportunity, she expanded her business by becoming a distributor for local stores. Reinvesting her profits into the business, Maria diversified her product range and began offering new items.
Maria expresses deep gratitude to her mentors and the Giving Machine program, acknowledging their vital role in bolstering her self-sufficiency. Maria’s income has soared from $70 to $500, marking a remarkable transformation in her financial situation.
