EDAPROSPO Maria Flores Santos Facundo

From such a humble family, Mrs. Flora is a great businesswoman. Six months ago, at 54 years old, she began selling disposables. She began it in her home environment where she also used to sell bookstore items. She lives with her husband and her five children, three of which produce and sell backpacks (her previous job that she left to her kids) while the other two (15 and 9 years old) are in school. Her husband also works as a locksmith but it does not bring in enough income and their standard of living is precarious. But Mrs. Flora perseveres: she dreams about completing her home environment and to be able to be able to run the bookstore by itself, not together with the disposables as it is now which would increase their income which is essential for improving the standard of living of her and her family.
