San Lorenzo Group's story

The committee is called San Lorenzo, it was formed with the union of friends and neighbors who work together to achieve their goals as a true team. They are within the poverty elimination program, where they all fight to be able to improve themselves and get ahead.
Arminda is one of them, who works selling vegetables. She mentions that she has a modest business in which she works early every day, offering her clients fresh and varied vegetables, and comments that through her work she contributes to the support of her home and family.
She is a hard-working person who, despite her difficulties, looks for a way to continue improving, since with her work she can cover what her family needs so they can have a better quality of life and better opportunities.
She requests this loan to purchase various vegetables, to be able to continue her sales and to be able to meet the demand of her clients.
