A loan helped a member to buy ingredients for making and selling food.


El Bosque Group's story

The El Bosque group is made up of enterprising and responsible women who are committed to improving their families' quality of life. They live in working-class communities where the living conditions are fair.

This is the case with Herlinda, who still makes and sells food. She sells food in her own home to take out as well as to eat there. This job enables her to earn income to help with her household expenses.

With the previous loan she bought all the supplies she needed to make the food she sells.

Herlinda hopes to be able to open a well-equipped and affordable restaurant to offer better-quality food and more variety.

The rest of the group is made up of Nayeli, Hilda, Cristina, Patricia, Matilde, and Lucia, women who fight to get ahead alongside their families.

In this group: Nayeli, Hilda, Cristina, Herlinda, Herlinda Patricia, Matilde, Lucia
