The A.C. “Amigas de Pillapi” will start its first cycle at Pro Mujer, as a part of the Centro Focal Copacabana. It is made up of 8 members and is led by a board of directors with Zenobia as its president.
The loan that they will take out will benefit the small micro enterprises that Zenobia is a member of. Currently, she has a business selling fish. She says that she took it upon herself to learn the trade several years ago.
The loan that she will take out now will serve to augment capital by buying a fishing net that she will get from the wholesale vendors in her community. After using it to fish, this will be her means of production. This kind of work allows her to generate the resources to support her family economically, since she is single and has five children.
In this group: Zenobia , Pastor , Simon , Roxana, Esmeralda, Mery , Martha Santusa, Mery Yanneth
