Mujeres Valientes Group's story

The "Mujeres Valientes" communal bank is part of the El Carmen agency. It is made up of eight members who are friends and neighbors in the area. It is led by a board of directors with Isabel as president.

Isabel is 40 years old, single and has 4 children. She currently has a business selling meals at her house.

The loan she is now taking out is to increase her capital buying an oven and bottles of gas from that she will acquire from the sellers in the markets of the city of Trinidad. She will then sell her meals in her work space. This method of working allows her to generate resources to support her family economically. Her dream is to have a large business and have a furnished house. Isabel asks you continue to trust her communal bank.
