Las Princesas Group's story

Eight Maya K’iche ladies, including Juana, have joined together to participate in the Friendship Bridge “Microcredit Plus” program of loans, education and health care services. They live in a rural area in the department/state of Quiche. The women farm, grow fruit, raise hens, and weave colorful traditional textiles. Learning about effective business management practices is vital to the success of their business. In addition, they empower themselves as they learn about health, women’s issues, and family matters. Every two months, the ladies have access to basic health care services, consultations, and exams delivered by a traveling nurse who speaks their Maya K'iche language and is sensitive to their needs.

Thank you, Kiva investors, for helping Juana and her friends reach for success!
