Santa Ana Group's story

“Santa Ana” is the name of this committee that was formed by a group of friends and neighbors from the city of Caaguzaú. The members have set a goal to grow, not only financially, but also as people.

One member who stands out is Sra. Ana Elizabeth, who is a single mother. She mentioned that she supports her children alone, so she looks for ways to help them and provide them with everything that she did not have so that they can avoid hardships.

Ana Elizabeth has been preparing and selling all types of food for 10 years. She also offers lunches for delivery. Ana Elizabeth indicated that she started selling as a street vendor. Through dedication, she was able to set up a small vending stall that now has a lot of activity. She is a determined person who never gives up and looks for ways to succeed and move forward so that she can continue to provide for her household and support her family.

Ana Elizabeth is requesting a loan to buy supplies so that she can continue preparing and selling food such as meat, eggs, vegetables, baked goods, empanada wrappers, cornmeal, lard, and other items.
