A loan helped a member to buy shampoo, nail polish, conditioner and hair dyes.


Perseverança Iii Group's story

Gisele is the first one in the photo from left to right. She is the single mother of one daughter. She is a hairdresser and started her journey five years ago in a room in her house with some furniture provided by a friend.

Gisele always dreamed of having a beauty salon where she could better serve her clients, and during the pandemic she had many difficulties. However, over these five years, with strength and courage she was able to set up her well-structured beauty salon.

She will use the loan to buy shampoo, nail polish, conditioner, and hair dyes.

The group is grateful to the investors for the opportunity.

In this group: Selma, Claudinete, Gisele, Nathalya, Cintia
