Todos Somos Uno En El Calvario Group's story

From León, Nicaragua, meet the community association Todos Somos Uno En El Calvario. They have had six cycles of work, are made up of eight members and are characterized by good behaviour with their payments. Their primary businesses are: selling shoes, grocery store, selling cosmetics, and selling perfume.
Josefa Patricia (seen in a yellow shirt, black skirt and sandals with silver on them), is 50 years and is considered a humble and hardworking person. She is married and has three children. Two of her children are 17, and 15 years old and attending school and the oldest is married and working. Her partner works as a mechanic. Six people live in her home.
Her business is a grocery store, which she has had for 3 years. The thing she likes about her business is the interactions with people. The challenge that her business faces is low sales.
The loan will help her to buy two cases of soda, one package of juice, candies, one pack of rice, one jug of oil, one case of soap, and cookies.
Her dreams and hopes for the future are to stock her business.
She advises all women who fight for their dreams to never give up.
Invest in a woman full of many dreams and successes!
