The group Desmochadas Aty is made up of 12 women and is in its 4th cycle of the women's communal bank programme, where everyone fights for a better quality of life for their families.
One of the members is Sebastiana, who works selling 'chipas' [cheesy buns], which is a typically Paraguayan food eaten all year round. She is a very hardworking person and a fighter, who seeks a way of being able to help her family and give them the best living conditions.
She is asking for this loan in order to buy supplies to be able to make her chipas, such as yeasts, cheese, eggs, butter and other products, so she can continue with the production and sale of her products.
In this group: Rosalba, Sebastiana, Ramona, María, Valdobina, Fulvia, Anicia, Lucia, Azucena, Amalia, Elvira, Laura
