A loan helped a member to buy meat, chicken, ham, cheese, eggs, and other products.


Kuña Vale Group's story

This loan group is called "Kuña Vale" and its members are all women, all heads of family who fight to give their loved ones a better quality of life and to ensure that they do not need for anything. Each member is looking for ways to help their loved ones so that they are not deprived of anything.

One member worth mentioning is Jorgelina, a plucky woman who makes a living selling hamburgers, sandwiches, and other edible goods. Jorgelina's dream is to have her own premises where she can receive customers and work comfortably.

Jorgelina is applying for this loan in order to buy meat, chicken, ham, cheese, eggs, and other products.

Note: in the photo, only one person is shown even though this is a group loan. Taking a group photo was not possible as the group could not come together owing to COVID-19 restrictions.

In this group: Camila, Sixta, Lourdes, Toribia, Ynocencia, Leonarda, Aurelia, Natalia, Inocencia, Silvia, Jorgelina, Feliciana, Fany, Carolina, Rocio, Eudes, Dory
