A loan helped a member to buy freeze-dried potatoes, potatoes, and peppers wholesale.


Bienvenidos I Group's story

The communal bank "Bienvenidos I" [Welcome I] is part of Agencia Panamericana. It is composed of nine members who are friends and neighbors in their zone. It is led by a board of directors, where Señora Regina is the president.

Regina, age 45, is single and has seven children. She now has a business of selling food (fried chicken). She lets it be known that she learned this business a long time ago.

The loan that she is taking out now will be to increase her capital. She will buy freeze-dried potatoes, potatoes, and peppers wholesale, which she will acquire from the wholesale dealers of the city of La Paz, and after preparing the food, she will sell it at her sales stand. This form of work allows her to generate resources to support her family economically.

Her aspirations are to make her capital grow.

Regina asks that you again have confidence in her communal bank.
