Mujeres De Exito Group's story

The group "Mujeres de Exito" [Women of Success] is in its 18th loan cycle. It is a group that is composed of five members. The members of the board of directors, the president, treasurer, and secretary, are shown in the photograph. They feel happy to continue as a team that is working for a better future.

Tania, age 43, has two children, who are her great motivation and strength. She is considered to be a responsible and hard-working woman with dreams of self-improvement.

For 10 years she has had a grocery business. She sells rice, sugar, pasta, and milk, among other items. It is for that reason that her great challenge is to obtain good earnings, to become a wholesale store. In addition, her great dream is to have more customers and thus obtain more earnings.

In addition to this business, her other source of income is raising cacao.

She will use the Kiva loan for the purchase of groceries, to be able to continue offering her customers variety. With the extra earnings, she will further increase her business, while maintaining her agricultural parcel.

In this group: Tania , Maria Ines, Norma Ida, Paulina Victoria, Carmen Rosa, Renee , Beto , Griselida
