Cecilia is 20 years old and lives in Comitán de Domínguez. At a young age, she decided to start selling votive candles, scented candles, and perfumes, looking to generate her own income and forge her path as a young entrepreneur.
One of her biggest challenges was raising the money necessary to start. She saved little by little until she had enough to invest in her first products.
Since then, she was worked with dedication, always seeking to offer variety and quality to her customers. Thanks to her effort, she has managed to make her business grow, attracting more people interested in her artisanal products.
Currently, Cecilia is seeking a loan to expand her inventory and offer a greater variety of candles, votive candles, and essential oils. Her goal is to strengthen her small business and continue growing step by step.
