Kuña Pyapy Mbarete Group's story

This group is called Kuña Pyapy Mbarete. It is a group made up of friends and neighbors from the city of Caaguazú. They set a goal for themselves to grow, not only financially but also as people. They are also in the elimination of poverty group, in which they all seek a way to improve their situation of poverty.

Gloria Raquel is one of the members of the group. She works providing manicure services. She says things are going very well, and she now has a steady clientele who always ask for her services, as she is very good at what she does.

Gloria comments that little by little, and with a great deal of effort, she has been improving. Her goal is to continue improving and to continue helping support her household and family, so that they lack nothing. She seeks this loan to invest in the purchase of materials in order to continue in her work, such as nail polish, files, clippers, acetone, and gel, among other things.
