Las Madres Group's story

Las Madres [The Mothers] is the name of this committee, since that is what they are. They established as a goal to be able to grow, not only economically, but also as people, so that their loved ones lack for nothing. It is a new committee, where they all help each other to be able to have a better future and lack for nothing.

Perla Graciela is one of the group members. She is the president and comments that she tries to be able to help the other committee members, to be able to get ahead together and be able to achieve their goals.

She works making and selling chipas, which are a traditional Paraguayan food that is eaten all year round. She comments that, through her business, she generates the daily sustenance for her family, so that they lack for nothing and do not experience hardships or deprivation.

She asks for this loan to purchase raw materials to make her chipas, such as starch, cheese, eggs, butter, and other ingredients.

In this group: Perla Graciela, Maria Demeris, Valencia, Josefina Venancia, Nilsa, Maida Isidora, Raquel Beatriz, Leticia Raquel, Marian Lorena, Zenaida, Margarita, Fanny Liliana, Catalina, Larissa, Liz Carolina, Carina Isabel, Luz Agripina, Elvis Rossana, Ana Claudia
