A loan helped a member to buy and sell grocery items.


Berlin Group's story

The Berlín group consists of entrepreneurial women who balance managing their businesses with taking care of their families. They live in working-class neighborhoods where living conditions are average.

This is the case for Flor, who continues to run her grocery store from her own home, selling basic staple products such as canned foods, cleaning supplies, and other items.

With this loan, she will restock her business with more merchandise. With her previous loan, she made some improvements to her store to better display her products. Flor aims to open another store in a nearby neighborhood to attract more customers.

The other members of the group include Noemi, Manuela, Victoria, Maria, and Deysi, who work daily to provide for their families.

In this group: Noemi, Victoria Magdalena, Flor De Maria, Flor De Maria, Deysi Carolina, Jessica
