A loan helped a member to buy women's clothing, changing the display, and updating the facade.


Caminho De Luz Group's story

Antonia, the first one in the photo from left to right, is 69 years old, widowed, and lives alone.

She has been selling clothing for more than 30 years. When she started, she sold door to door, but about 15 years ago she set up a shop in her garage - the clothing shop she dreamed of. She equipped it little by little. Antonia is a very hard worker and always invests in her business, expanding the variety of her stock. At this time, she will invest in the purchase of clothing for the display in the shop's front window.

The group is grateful to the investors for the opportunity.

In this group: Antonia, Kessia, Elizabete, Rita
