Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico - Rural women in the Tlacolula Valley of Oaxaca benefit from a microfinance loan program run by the nonprofit En Via Foundation. Women can get interest-free loans starting at 1500 pesos ($75 US) to start or expand a business. The organization also gives classes in business basics, English, and internet marketing. Microloan recipient Amelia Ruiz Gonzales is a weaver; she and her husband use synthetic (shown) and natural dyes to color their yarn.
