A loan helped a member to increase her capital and buy fabrics.


Bella Vecindad Group's story

Señora Belen Irina is 40 years of age. She is married and has two children. She does dressmaking work for eight hours a day in her workshop, which is located in her own home. She gets up early and does her chores so that later she can do her dressmaking work and provide service to her customers.

Her previous loan was for the purchase of a sewing machine, and she will use this loan for the purchase of fabrics to increase her business.

She knew her group because they are relatives and neighbors.

Her goals in relation to this loan are to have earnings to increase her business. Her goals in relation to her life and her family are to have an embroiderer and to have her children become professionals.
