The communal bank “Corazones” is composed of women who are neighbors and relatives. They are honest people who are each investing in a business in order to increase their incomes so that they can cover the household expenses and provide for the financial well-being of their children.
This is the case for Claudia, the founder of the group. She is a single mother with twin girls who are 6 years old. At this time, she has a business buying and selling clothing. She saw in this activity an opportunity to generate income to support herself, and cover the household expenses.
With her previous loan, Claudia was able to buy seasonal clothing and school uniforms to take advantage of the return to classes. She aspires to have a shop where she could exhibit all of her merchandise.
The rest of this group includes: Rita, Lidia, Alejandra, Adamari, Reyna and Paola. These women are seeking every day to get ahead with their families.
In this group: Claudia, Rita, Lidia Guadalupe, Alejandra, Adamari, Reyna Guadalupe, Paola
