      <title>Martha  Diaz   Ruiz  - Loan Posted</title>
      <description>&lt;b&gt;Martha  Diaz   Ruiz  - Colombia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Funded $175 of $175&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="/show/827"&gt;&lt;img alt="Marta_diaz_thumb" border="0" height="80" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/r2d2/client_images/6277/Marta_Diaz_thumb.JPG" width="80" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Martha is a 39 year old woman. She owns and operates a home business selling fried foods to her neighbors at reasonable price allowing her to reach good profits. 

She, together with her husband Wilman Casseres, have four teen-age children who currently attend primary and secondary school, her husband works on contract as a house builder in the surrounding communities, and his income is not enough to cover all the household expenses.

Marta would like her business to grow, and with the increasing profits be able to make a bigger contribution for her home monthly needs.  

She is hoping to receive a loan to strengthen her business by increasing her inventory and renting a location to open a restaurant where her costumers feel more comfortable.   
Her most important motivation to improve her business is be to afford the best education possible for her children and make improvements on her home.
