The Communal Bank named “Villa Unión” is from the city of León, Nicaragua. It consists of eight members, seven women and one man, who are known for being punctual, organized, and hardworking. They possess a great desire to succeed. Their work includes selling products as street merchants, butchering pigs, selling firewood, and cultivating vegetables.
Sista Leonor is the woman in the photo who is wearing a blue T-shirt with an image of baseball bats, pink sneakers, and a scarf on her head. She is 58 years old and known for being a woman who is responsible in her work. Sista Leonor is single and a mother of eight children, four of whom are still under her care. One child has a disability.
Sista Leonor buys and sells firewood and pigs. What she enjoys most about her business is that she can sell firewood at a fast pace. One challenge that she faces is the scarcity of firewood during the winter season, so her sales are low at that time. She will use her loan to buy semolina to feed to her pigs and firewood to sell. Sista Leonor has confidence in Pro Mujer because they trust her, so she knows that it is possible to get ahead when she is offered a helping hand.
Invest in a determined woman who has dreams of success!
