A loan helped a member to buy beans, sugar, fruit, bags and straws.


Racimo De Uvas Group's story

The communal bank Racimo de Uvas from Managua, Nicaragua, is made up of 10 clients. The businesses that stand out in the group are selling food, selling clothes, selling soft drinks, and selling cosmetics.

Sonia Lorena (wearing a purple t-shirt, black pants, and white sneakers) is 45 years old and is the president of the group. She considers herself a hard-working, professional, and supportive person. She is single and has a son.

She has had a business selling soft drinks and cooked beans for five years. What she likes most about her business is that she works from home and makes a profit. She finds her business challenging when the beans are not selling well.

She will use the loan to buy beans, sugar, fruit, bags, and straws. Her hope and dream for the future is to expand her business. She advises women to continue moving forward with the help of Pro-Mujer.

Give your support to help her progress!
