Señora Martinez was interviewed at the Nogales, Mexico Expo Oct 29, 2011. The Expo was put on by a charitable non-profit microcredit organization supported by ProMex Group. Her business is making wedding dresses and accessories. She has been in business for 20 years. She borrowed 5,000 pesos (US$420) six months earlier to purchase an electric sewing machine. The new sewing machine allows her to work faster and produce more and better quality products.
