A loan helped a member to purchase detergents, softeners, clothing fragrances, and more.


Colonias Unidas Group's story

This is a close-knit committee where they all help each other to be able to offer their loved ones better living conditions and for them not to have to experience hardships or deprivation. Each one has her own business through which she generates the necessary income to be able to help her family.

One of them is Emilia Gladys, who works providing laundry services and comments that, although her business is humble, it allows her to generate the income to be able to pay for her family's necessities. Every day, she begins her work early in the morning, which is when she already starts with her laundry chores.

Her goal is to be able to continue investing in her business and, in this way, to be able to improve and to continue generating the necessary income to be able to help her family.

She asks for this loan to purchase materials for her business, such as detergents, softeners, clothing fragrances, and more.
