Nueva Ilusion Group's story

The "Nueva Ilusión" group is made up of entrepreneurial and responsible women who are committed to improving the quality of life of their families. They live in popular neighborhoods where the living conditions are average.

This is the case for María, who is 68 years old with 2 children who are professionals. She continues buying and selling paper goods. This allows her to generate income to be able to support her household costs.

With her previous loan, she was able to buy more merchandise to restock her stationary store.

María aspires to diversify her services and add a copy center.

The rest of the group is made up of Marta, Lorena, and Clara, women who, along with their families, fight to get by.

In this group: Marta Guadalupe, Maria Concepcion, Lorena, Clara Maria
