Las Legitimas Group

From Chinandega Nicaragua, meet the 9 members of the communal bank "Juntas por un Futuro Mejor." They are known for being cooperative and responsible. Their businesses include: staple grain sales, vegetable sales, pastry sales, grocery store, cosmetics sales, tortilla sales, and the sale of piñatas.

Maria Julia (seen in the black shirt, blue jeans, and cream colored sandals) is 41 years old. She considers herself to be a cooperative, hardworking and responsible person. She is single and has 3 children aged 23, 20, and 15. Her 15 year-old is still in secondary school. There are 2 people in her household.

Maria Julia has had a business selling piñatas and soft drinks for 5 years. What she likes about the business are the earnings. Maria Julia will use this loan to buy a dozen poster boards, a dozen cardboard boxes, a gallon of white glue, 10 decorative spheres made from rope, 2 dozen units of confetti, and 100 pounds of sugar and fruit for the soft drinks. Her dream and hope for the future is to expand her business. She advises women to join a Pro-Mujer group and take advantage of the support they are providing for those who want to get ahead.

Maria's counting on you so that she can continue to make progress with her family!
