Mujeres Valientes Group's story

The “Mujeres Valientes” ["Brave Women"] group is in its first cycle of the program. They have started a group of 12 members, friends and neighbors from the city, where everyone fights to improve their families' living conditions so that they do not lack anything.

Among the members, Rosaria Ilce stands out. She is married and she is a mother. She says that she has two children, who are students. She and her husband fight to help them with everything within their reach, so that they can be professionals in the future.

She makes a living selling all types of handicrafts. She says that it is going very well and that today, she has a formed clientele that always orders from her.

She is requesting this loan to buy raw materials to continue with her handicrafts, such as fabric, paint, and appliqués, among other products, to continue working.
