Meet the communal bank "La Loma el Rayo" from León, Nicaragua. Their businesses include fried foods, grocery store, buying and selling pigs, fast food, dairy products, and Jícaro seeds.
Erika Sugey (the person holding fruit, wearing a black skirt with buttons, a blue blouse, and black sandals) is 33 years old and married. For three years, she has had a grocery store business. The challenge she faces is that when the river rises, she cannot leave or return, so she cannot make purchases. She will invest the loan to buy rice, oil, semolina, beans, and fruit. This will allow her to provide sustenance to the community and to maintain her clientele. Her dream is to be able to finish building her house. Women must fight for their dreams; it is valid to feel exhausted, but not to give up.
Invest in a woman - help her to achieve her dreams!
