A loan helped a member buy and sell scrap metal.


Dios Con Nosotras Group's story

Carmen Yohanna is a member of the communal bank group "Dios con Nosotras". She is very responsible, attentive and kind. Her work involves collecting batteries and recycled materials to sell. She also collects cans, bottles, and newspapers. She has been working in this activity for several years and has been doing well.

Because of this activity she has been able to make a living for her family, and with her hard work and dedication she is able to contribute with family living expenses. Her children are older and are no longer in her care but she supports her two youngest daughters.

She is applying for a new loan to invest in the purchase of scrap metal. She hopes to continue receiving help for many more years. Her dream is to pay off her house so she can make repairs.

In this group: Carmen Yohanna, Rogelina, Victoria , Maria Azucena, Amparo
