The name of this communal bank is "Kuña Mbarete." It was formed by women who are heads of their households and are fighting together to improve their ability to provide for their loved ones. This group is participating in the Poverty Elimination program, and all of the members are united in their desire to better provide for their households.
Lourdes Romina is a member of this group. She is married and is the mother of 3 children. She and her husband are seeking a way to succeed so that they can provide their loved ones with a better quality of life.
Lourdes has a business making and selling cakes. She states that her business is modest, but she has been gradually improving it thanks to her daily efforts. She is pleased with this opportunity that she is receiving as a member of this group, because it represents help not only for her, but also for her fellow group members.
Lourdes is requesting this loan to buy supplies to make her cakes, such as: flour, eggs, butter, sweets, sugar, fruit, and other supplies. This way, she can continue with her business.
Note: the children in the photo are the children of the members of this group who are signing for this loan.
