The Geranios group is made up of enterprising women. They combine caring for their businesses with attending to their families. They live in working-class neighborhoods with normal living conditions.
This is the case of Rosa who is 59 years old and has five children. They are in middle school and elementary school. For five years she has worked buying and selling chicken. In this business she sees an opportunity to generate income to cover the household expenses.
With this current loan she will buy live chickens to fatten and later process when she needs them. Rosa aspires to set up a farm in order to have more birds.
The rest of the group includes these women: Sanjuana, Gabriela, Tania, Madeli, Patricia, Liliana and Alejandra. They all have big dreams for their lives.
In this group: Rosa, Sanjuana, Gabriela, Tania Sofia, Madeli, Patricia, Liliana, Maria Alejandra
