A loan helped a member to buy a refrigerator because she wants to include drinks to sell with the food she prepares.


Mujeres Exitosas San Lorenzo Group's story

The members of this group, Mujeres Exitosas San Lorenzo, helped each other emotionally and supported their businesses through the difficulties of a global pandemic. Their group members continue to show their resiliency as they renew their loans and fight to grow their micro-enterprises and provide for their families. Nevertheless, some of the members, due to the work they do, cannot meet frequently. Others are taking a break this cycle.

At this time Blanca Rosa is representing the group. She also works in sales. She sells lunches and fast foods. She also has a small convenience store. Her dream is to open an eatery as she currently works selling food to go.

With this loan she wants to buy a refrigerator because she wants to include drinks to sell with the food she prepares.The group cannot meet regularly so Blanca is the only one who appears in the group profile photo.

In this group: Blanca Rosa, Maria Herminia, Myrian Rosalba, Maria Cristina, Raquel, Maria Del Carmen, Elena Rossana, Patricia Raquel, Mariela , Francisca , Maria Esther , Karen Zunilda , Jessica Belen Diana , Liz Paola Diana , Francisca , Daisy Sara
