Dios Es Fortaleza Group

Meet the Dios es Fortaleza communal bank from León, Nicaragua. They are in cycle 17, and the group is comprised of eight members. They are known for their good repayment behavior. The businesses that predominate are selling food, selling clothes, selling tortillas, selling pastry, selling fruits, and selling and raising pigs.

Maria Josefa (wearing a cream colored blouse and white skirt, and she is seated). She is 52 years old, and her business is selling pastries. She has had the business for 20 years. What she likes about the business are the earnings. The challenges she has faced are low sales. She will use the loan to buy one quintal of flour, one quintal of sugar, and one large container of cooking oil.

Her hopes and dreams for the future are to make improvements to her house. She advises the women to put forth great effort to get ahead with their families, and that they should take advantage of the loans offered by Pro-Mujer.

Please help her to fulfill her dream of improving her house.
