The communal bank "Mi Esfuerzo #1" [My Effort #1] is composed of seven women and a man who live in the city of Darío in the department of Matagalpa, Nicaragua. They are currently working their third loan cycle and, despite the difficulties, they have figured out how to work as a team to get ahead together.
This is Mercedes de los Angeles (second member from the right, wearing a mustard-colored blouse and striped white capris). She holds the role of group leader in the communal bank. Together with her husband, she works every day to give a home and sustenance to her 7 children.
Mercedes de los Angeles needs a loan to buy ladies' and gentlemen's clothing, footwear, children's clothing, and costume jewelry to supply her store.
“I am my own boss and this allows me to take care of my family. I feel complete having my business.”
