Ma¥Aneras Group's story

The group the “Mañaneras” forms part of the Agencia Villa Tejada, which is composed of eight members. It is managed by a board of directors, of which Elizabeth is president.

Elizabeth is married and has three children. She has a carpentry business and this loan will buy wholesale timber, that she will acquire through wholesale vendors in the city of La Paz, later conducting business from her market stall.

This form of work allows her to generate income to help her family financially, her aspirations are to eventually have a house. Elizabeth hopes that they can return to trust their local bank.
