Gs Chilamates Group's story

Dora Nely is the coordinator of the Chilamates group. She has sold tamales for thirty years. She has been working with ASEI for approximately fourteen years. Her business is strong because she makes tamales in bulk and in small quantities. She is the source of income for her home and that is why her dream is to be able to hire another person to help her with the sales. With the loan, she is going to buy lard, chicken, and corn t make her tamales.

In this group: Rosa Melia, Maria Del Carmen, Dalila Yamilet, Dora Nely, Gloria Elizabeth
