San Valentin Group's story

The San Valentin group is in its 38th cycle. It is a group that is made up of 12 members. In the photograph are the members of the board of directors, president, treasurer and secretary, and they feel happy to continue as a team working for a better future.

Sonia is married and has two children. She considers herself a responsible and hardworking woman with dreams of improvement. She has had her business selling clothing (blouses, shorts, pants, among other items) for 10 years. Her biggest challenge is to obtain good profits.

Likewise, her great dream is to have more clients and to continue growing. In addition to this business, her other source of income is the sale of cacao crops. She will use the Kiva loan to increase merchandise purchases of shorts, polo shirts, jackets, among other products, so that her customers have variety.

In this group: Maximo , Teodosia , Margoth , Olimpia , Ronald Yerson, Marciano Felix, Vidalina , Pelayo Dionicio, Hermelinda Goya, Sonia , Teofilo Cesario, Filder
