A loan helped a member to buy and sell regional crafts.


Piñon Group's story

The Piñon group is formed by enterprising, determined women committed to their families' wellbeing. They live in popular colonies where the living conditions are average.

Such is the case with Madeleine, 43 years old, married, with two children who are in university. Madeleine works buying and selling regional crafts, which she advertises on social media. She also sells at tianguis [open air markets]. With this activity, she has managed to support her spouse with the household expenses.

Her goal is to be able to open a retail space where she can display all her merchandise to be able to attract more customers and, so, to manage to generate more income. She also wants to see her children finish their degrees.

The rest of the group are the ladies Rosbi, Aleyda, Guadalupe, Alicia, Imelda and Andrea, all with goals and dreams to realize so that day after day they seek the way to get ahead.

In this group: Rosbi Isabel, Madelaine, Aleyda, Skarlet Guadalupe, Alicia Del Carmen, Imelda, Andrea
