Galacticas Group's story

The members of the group “Galácticas” live in a neighborhood near the city. They are enterprising women who play a very important role in providing financially for their households.

Such is the case with Sra. Esperanza. She is 67 years old and a mother of three children. Esperanza has a house of her own. She has been preparing and selling food for the past 20 years. Esperanza opens her vending stall at 8:00 A.M. and closes at 4:00 P.M. Her goal is to expand her business. She has one employee who helps with the business.

Esperanza formed this group with other hardworking women: Sras. Candelaria, Maria Estela, Camila, Carmen, and Verónica. These youthful women aspire to provide their children with a good education so that they can make progress in life.

In this group: Esperanza, Candelaria, Maria Estela, Veronica, Camila, Carmen
