Innovadoras Group's story

From Managua, Nicaragua, meet the community association Innovadoras, sixth loan cycle, composed of eight clients. The prevailing businesses are: clothes sales, cosmetics sales, sewing workshop, food sales.

Karina Vanessa (shown in the picture wearing a pink shirt, blue jeans, and gray shoes, with a bottle of water in her hand), is 34, married, and has three children, two girls and one boy, aged 10, 7 and 5, all of whom are in school. Her partner works for a company. Six people live in her house.

She has been in business for two years baking cakes. What she likes most about her business is innovating the products her customers request of her. The challenges she faces with her business are high input costs. She will invest the loan in the purchase of flour, butter, sugar, cutters, molds, and fondant. The loan will help her to have a higher production and higher profit. Her dreams and hopes for the future are to have a location for the business. She advises women to fight to have their own business.

Help her continue to achieve her goals!
