Las Carmelitas Group's story

The committee named Carmelitas is in its 12th loan cycle in the women's committee program. They all established as a goal to be able to grow, not only economically but also as people, to be able to get ahead and offer their loved ones a better quality of life.

One of them is Sara Raquel, who works in the laundry trade and comments that she offers her customers excellent service and this allowed her to be able to improve and struggle to continue helping sustain her home and family.

She is a self-sacrificing person who works tirelessly to be able to give her family the best and that her loved ones lack for nothing and to be able to give them everything she was unable to have.

Sara Raquel defines herself as a hardworking person who struggles to get ahead and be able to continue helping sustain her home and her family.

She asks for this loan to purchase materials for her laundry, such as detergents, softeners, clothing fragrances, and more.
