Mujeres Emprendedoras Group's story

Mujeres Emprendedoras is a comunal bank from the city of Santani. It is made up of women, who are the breadwinners in their family, striving for a better future. They see an opportunity by joining the communal bank and is why they work as a team and support each other.

Perla Antonela is one such woman. She sells all kinds of clothing. She remarks that her business is modest, but she searches for ways to better herself and slowly improve. She is an active person who, in spite of the difficulties she faces, looks for how she can move forward and give her family everything she could not have and for them not to have to do without.

Little by little and with great effort, she has been improving her business to get where she is now.

Perla is seeking this loan to buy several garments such as T-shirts, shirts, trousers, blouses, shorts and more in order to carry on working and selling.
