Kuña Tacateña Group's story

The group "Kuña Tacuateña" is in its second cycle of loans with the women's committee programme. They are from the city of San Pedro, from an area far from the centre. Each woman strives to be able to offer her loved ones a better quality of life.

Blanca is one of the members. She works making crochet doilies. She has various customers from the same neighbourhood and the surrounding area. She is a person who is very good at what she does and says that thanks to her handicrafts she has the means to be able to help her family.
