12 De Octubre Group's story
The "October 12th" group is made up of enterprising, responsible women committed to improving the quality of life of their families. They live in working-class neighbourhoods where living conditions are average.
This is the case of Araceli, she is 38 years old, single and has 2 children studying. For 20 years she has been preparing and selling food. She set up her house to sell breakfasts and lunches. This work allowed her to generate an income to support her family's expenses.
With this loan, she will buy all the necessary supplies for the preparation of the food she sells.
Araceli hopes to equip her kitchen to offer higher quality food.
Together with Araceli, the group is made up of Gloria, a hard-working woman dedicated every day to get ahead with her family.
In this group: Gloria, Araceli Hortencia
