Divino Niño Group's story

From León, Nicaragua, meet the communal bank Niño Divino, now in its 18th loan cycle. It is a group formed by 8 members, whose main businesses are sale of cosmetics, clothing, tortillas, pig butchering, sale of sodas and a dressmaking.

Dominga Emelda (wearing a white T-shirt, black jeans, and seated) is 56 years old, a widow, and has 2 children, ages 32 and 33 (male and female).

Her business in the community is dressmaking. The loan will be used to buy 10 yards of cotton fabric, 30 yards of tablecloth fabric, 50 yards of curtain fabric, 5 dozen of zippers, 4 dozen of threads, and 5 boxes of needles.

Her dreams and hopes for the future are to turn her business into a sewing shop to make her own designs, and to improve her house to have a better quality of life.

Her advice to women is to form groups to get micro loans with Pro-Mujer, since this is a great benefit for all of them.

Help her fulfill her dream of improving her house!

In this group: Migdalia Del Carmen , Elba Liseth , Dominga Emelda , Angelica Dolores , Gladys , Melania , Marlene , Tania Marbely
