Mujeres Emprendedoras Group's story

This committee is called Mujeres Emprendedoras. It arose thanks to all the group members' personal drive; they help one another get ahead together as a true group. They are also part of the 'Poverty Stoplight' programme, helping each other and overcoming poverty.
Maria Soledad is a member of the committee. She is a hard working lady who, together with her husband, works and looks for help to maintain their home and give their child the best opportunities and a good education.
Her husband is a chauffeur, and Maria Soledad works in sales. She started her shop modestly and has gradually improved. Her goal is to continue working, and in the future, have a wider variety of products to offer her customers.
She is asking for this loan to buy various products to stock her business: vegetables, meat, dairy products, cleaning products, bulk goods and other products to continue selling.
