The project

Flores Cajica is flower producer situated near the Rio Grande. Flores Cajica is family owned and employs 23 people. Martha is the proud owner and founder of the company since 2003. She is responsible for the daily operations of the business, next to being a mum of three children! Flores Cajica grows high quality roses for the export market as well as for the growing national market. Martha knows what she is doing; she has already been working in the flower business for over 25 years! A great majority of the people she employs are women who are responsible for the main income of their families. 

Martha would like to use the loan to renew the rose bushes; this way, she can grow more advanced rose types, which means she can increase the productivity per bush. She will also renew the irrigation system so she can water the roses in a more efficient way to prevent water from being wasted. 

Lendahand and its local partner grant this loan to Martha, payable in 24 months, to be able to make this ambition reality.
