Gratidão Iii Group's story

Maria, first in the photo from right to left, has always been a fighter. 12 years ago, she started her business selling açaí, soups, and feijoada to residents of her neighborhood. She is married and is the mother of three children, including a disabled son. She has not given up in the face of challenges, but on the contrary, she turned every obstacle into an opportunity for growth. From the beginning, she has worked side by side with her son, with motherly love and entrepreneurial vision. With much effort over the years, she gradually expanded her business, and with the help of a loan, she will invest in purchasing food, açaí, and beverages for her business.

The group members thank their investors for the opportunity.
