Francisca's story
These days, many women are getting ahead through various businesses that they have in their communities. This is thanks to the people who trust and extend a helping hand to Guatemalan women for a better future.
Francisca is one of these women, who with much effort is getting ahead in her business selling traditional clothing. One year ago, she received a loan with which she happily invested in the purchase of typical clothing. She is grateful, because this gave her the opportunity to increase her profits a bit more.
Francisca always has liked to make her business grow. Therefore she comes to the Asociación hoping to request a loan to invest in the purchase of merchandise -specifically, cortes [skirts], güipiles [embroidered blouses], and fajas [sashes] in various designs and colors. She warmly thanks the people who support women towards a more dignified life.
