The “Celeste” group is made up of enterprising women who support one another and who support their households. They live in popular neighborhoods where the living conditions are regular.
Such is the case with Mrs. Fidelina, 48 years old. She has 2 children who are studying in high school. For 15 years, she has worked buying and selling perfumes to her family members, acquaintances, and neighbors in the nearby neighborhoods. This business has enabled her to earn income in order to be able to meet her household expenses.
With the loan, she'll be able to restock on perfumes in order to be able to offer variety to her clients.
Fidelina hopes to be able to establish her business in a local storefront.
The rest of the group is made up of the ladies Rosario, Hilda, Olga, Maria, Esther, Matilde, and Flor, women who, alongside their families, are fighting to get ahead.
In this group: Maria Del Rosario, Hilda Concepcion, Olga Lidia, Maria, Maria Esther, Fidelina, Matilde, Flor
