Fe Y Esperanza 1 Group's story

From León, Nicaragua meet the community association Fe y Esperanza 1. It is made up of nine members who are excelente. Their businesses for the most part focus on selling pigs and vegetables, small grocery stores and selling ice creams.

Esperanza Margarita (dressed in a sky blue blouse with a pink sweater and who is the fourth from the left) is 28 years old and in a common law marriage. Her companion is a farmer. She is known to be an entrepreneurial, active and responsible person. She has one school aged son.

Her business is growing corn, beans, sesame and wheat and she has eight years of experience in this business. What she likes most about her business is that it generates earnings and part of the food for the household. Among her challenges is bad weather which causes the loss of harvests.

She will use this loan to buy supplies (poison, fertilizer, seeds, corn, beans, wheat and sesame) to prepare and plant her land. She hopes to make improvements on her house, guarantee a food supply for her household and to keep farming.
