A loan helped a member to buy natural medicine to sell.


San Francisco Group's story

Each of the members of this group decided to join so they would be able to offer better living conditions to their families, so that they do not lack anything and do not have to go through hardships. They are from the region of Curuguaty, a difficult place due to the presence of armed groups, but they do not let themselves be defeated and seek ways to offer better living conditions to their families.

Teodora is one of them, married and mother of 5 children, for whom she fights to provide for them so that they do not lack anything. She buys and sells natural medicines wholesale, and although her business is modest, she is proud of what she does, because it has allowed her to help her loved ones and ensure that they lack nothing.

She is requesting this loan to buy natural medicines for sale, so that she can continue with her sales as she has been doing.
