A loan helped to buy traditional clothing, such as cortes (skirts), güipiles (blouses) and belts.


Francisca's story

Around the world there are many women working tirelessly to fulfill their dreams and goals. This is possible thanks to the people that give a friendly hand to Guatemalan women to help them get a better future.

This is precisely what happens with Francisca, who some years ago was blessed with a loan. She was able to invest in the purchase of traditional clothing of the region.

Thanks to this investment she was able to offer quality products to the clientele of her community. This year she is looking to get a new loan with the purpose of buying traditional clothing, such as cortes (skirts), güipiles (blouses), and quality belts.

This will help her to keep her business afloat and continue increasing her profits. Aside from this, she will also be able to fulfill the demands of her customers.

Francisca is longing to get this dream that she has been planning for days along her lovely family.
