Marangatu Group's story

Each member of this group has her own business through which she generates income to move her family forward. The group is also in the elimination of poverty program.

Lourdes Leticia is one of the members. She is a very active and hardworking woman who generates income for her family in order to give them a life of dignity, without any need or hardship.

She works selling food that she herself makes every day from early in the morning and then sells as a street vendor. She seeks this loan to buy ingredients to make her foods, such as eggs, meat, condiments, breads, vegetables, and chicken, among other things. This will allow her to continue with her work.

Lourdes' goal is to be able to make improvements to and expand the space where she makes her sales. This will allow her to continue helping to support her two children.

In this group: Lilian Mabel, Lucia, Natalia, Pablina, Silvia, Laura, Francisca Del Rosario, Rafaela, Rosana, Eugenia, Luz Mabel, Carolina, Maria Antonia, Liz Rilssi, Maria Yolanda, Lourdes Leticia, Rosana Mabel, Blanca Fidelina, Vanesa Danieli
