Mujeres Valientes [Courageous Women] is the name of this committee, since that is what they are, female heads of household who struggle for their loved ones so that they lack for nothing and do not experience any type of hardship.
Among them, Elida Eidema stands out for her desire for improvement. She makes and sells food of all sorts and mentions that she helps sustain her her household through making and selling all sorts of food.
She comments that she begins her work very early in the morning, which is when she gets up to make the food which she then sells as a street vendor and her loved ones help her with this.
She is happy to be part of the group, since it represents an opportunity to improve for her and her family.
She asks for this loan to purchase the raw materials to be able to make her food, such as flour, eggs, butter, sugar, meat, chicken, and other ingredients.
Note: There is only one person in the photo, but this is a group loan. A group photo was not possible to prevent the gathering of people due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is still present as its lifting has not been declared.
